Wow, what a beast. That's about 40" wide and prices "start at" $8,200 new.
It's located very close to us here in San Diego. Tempted to make a crazy low ball offer and rebuild the kitchen around this thing if they accepted it.

I had one of these in my last house, had it secondhand. Both ovens had died by the time I left, unfortunately. It was quite solidly made in some respects and was monstrously heavy, but things like elements blowing out and knobs falling off did get wearisome after a while.

It does not look like the controls are convenient to use below and behind that rod in front of the cooktop.
