Did the brady frig have water in the door?

I didn't realize that those existed that far back.

We were too poor to have such so I can't say 'we had one!'

Another Shot...

...Of the Amana model seen on The Bob Newhart Show. This one's actually available, but funds and transport are a problem right now. Too bad, because this is a dream fridge for me. It's such a dream fridge that I'm even okay with the Almond colour of this one!

my sister has

a harvest gold gas cooktop & wall oven she wants to get rid of [sell]. If anyone is interested, give me a buzz.
 
wow so the brady bunch probably DID have it!

I didn't realize that water/ice int he door was almost as old as me...and I'm five years younger than touch tone!
 
Paul:

I had exactly that range, in that colour, in a house I rented for a short time in the early '90s. It was a phenomenal performer, and an excellent use of space. A 40-inch double-oven P*7 GE is always going to be my most preferred range, but that Americana was a real pleasure to use.
 
I would love to to have that stove too, but it would have to be gas, no 220v in the kitchen. I also won a Westbend electric skillet (maybe two of them). Can't wait to get everything set up on the counter!
 
Momma always said keep underneath it clean, clean clean.

PAUL:

~I always wanted one of these two-oven 'Americana' style ones! This one is in Oklahoma, unfortunately...

If you want one in almond, shoot me an email! I'll let my friends (Long Island, NY state) know not to send it to the Krusher. They will be remodeling at some point.

Loves me the rotisserie in the upper oven!

Whn I showed my clean-freak OCD friend [he is LITERALLY folks, I'm not fibbin'] how to unplug the surface elements he was THRILLED to be able to clean under them.
 
Toggles:

If you really want to make your friend happy, you may be able to show him something else he doesn't know.

On the Americana I used, there were removable panels in the upper oven's walls; you could put them (and the racks, if you didn't care about smooth and shiny) in the lower P*7 oven.

The guy that house was rented from had bought the range new, and he was stunned to learn from me that years of hand-cleaning the upper oven had been unnecessary.

That feature may vary from year to year, and/or model to model, but if your friend doesn't know about it, it'd be worth checking to see if his has it.
 
It seems to me, around here, we've got alot of harvest gold ranges and fridges.

Pattie TV and Appliance store almost always has at least one harvest colored appliance.

I was in the Habitat ReStore and they even had a harvest top freezer refrigerator.

Now, if you're looking for appliances earlier than 1970, good luck.

I've been searching and searching for a 1950's Foodarama (among other appliances). They don't seem to exist in the metro area. Or within 50 miles for that matter. They're always a million miles away and just as many dollars too.

GE Americana range

My grandparents have a similar one. It's a Signature by Montgomery Wards 'Cook Center' range. It's nearly identical to the Americana. It's harvest gold and they bought it new in 1971 for $300.

Good news is, when they either pass on or buy new, I get the Cook Center.
