Look What I Got Today - Or, Mother of All Stoves Part II

[58limited]

I was thinking they were meant to amplify the radiant/ infrared heat. The pins are stainless and are drilled and fitted. I taped them off when I painted the burner. Roper called this the Glo-Broiler.

Rebuilt thermostats arrived this week. Waiting for the chrome to be finished. The stove is stripped down so all I need to do is move it out of the garage, do some cleaning, and move it into the house and start the assembly process. Oh, and figure out the best way to repair/replace the damaged rear legs.

This stove has two Robert Shaw model BJ thermostats. I sent an extra to be rebuilt for my Wizard stove.

Just a quick update. The chrome came back from Salt Lake Chrome and I am amazed! The stamped sheet metal parts that had heavy surface rust look brand now with no craters. I'll post pics later, pretty busy right now and I haven't done much with the stove lately.

I'll patiently wait David, but very excited to see the results.

BJ Gas Oven Thromotats

Hi David, great progress can't wait to see pictures of it all assembled.

 

Question, where did you get the thermostats rebuilt , I have not needed any for a while but Ido have a customer with a 1950 Roper that is having problems with one of her ovens on a 40" dual oven model and I have not been able to get it to keep a stable temperature.

John, I sent them to Repco in Ft. Worth, Texas: https://www.erepco.com/

Call for pricing. They mainly serve businesses, not the public.

You know they still make them?

The bj series is still popular on commercial equipment. If the stem part doesn’t quite match you can just swap the rear bellow / cap tube assembly and it’s as good as new.
