We had this exact model at

my church. It served us well, with minimal trouble, from 1953 to 2011.

However, it has to be installed very precisely in a home setting (or better, not at all in a home), or one's fire insurance will be voided.

However, for what it is, it is excellent.

Burn Baby Burn!

In the home, anything with 5 or more burners requires an outside vented hood..this would be great in those kitchens for McMansion owners who don't cook

Looks so much like a restaurant kitchen range.Think of the gas line needed to run that thing-kinda neat though-but don't cook THAT much at once.Guess if you had to have that at home--you hosted a LOT of parties!

Same unit?

Well whatever the things ran on propane, or at least that is what the serial plate states. Not sure one would want the amount of liquified natural gas it would take to use this thing daily stored around my home.

What? Only TEN?

I remember someone here having a gigantic range like that here! Only a No-Name, in white!

And look how that is an OLD Magic Chef logo, too! The "chef" got up-dated (replaced by a "younger looking" one) over the years!

And I remember seeing a Magic Chef ad promoting a Magic Chef stuffed toy!

I think that is a fair price. If I was closer and had room, I'd buy it. Just what I need, another big stove to go with my Roper T&C and Chambers Imperial! The market for these is limited and they often sell for cheap.

 

And yes, residential installation will require modifications: outside venting and the stove will have to be further insulated - many old commercial ranges were designed to be free standing and had little or no insulation on the sides or back, fire hazard in residential homes where a stove is shoehorned into the cabinets.
