Its really in
Pretty good shape, the heat Minder and Speed Heat have been changed, but thats a good thing in my book, both ovens bake great, they were both off temp but I calibrated them, the clock runs but dosent keep accurate time...I got some kind of glare on that last picture...the back splash is all glass and is perfect, really a pretty old stove, I had forgotten just how good Radiantubes were.

Wow! That's an awesome stove!
Hans, it's beautiful!
You sly fox, you, keeping this quiet until you were up and running! What a great stove, probably my favorite year of this design, it has the blue faced clock and dials... and now we will all look forward to hear about your baking success with it!

Hans,
I'd sent you a PM about another range, but I guess you need to disregard it now....
You sly puss!
Oh, and congratulations!

That's one classy range. Makes me wanna go electric. Frigidaire made some great ranges, that's for sure. Enjoy it with good health and good fortune.

Re Norge..
Shes in storage for now, this old CI bakes beautifully, although like every pull and clean ive ever encountered it gets hot on the top edge above the large oven, When they changed the speed heat the dum dumms took out the pointer mechanism so you have to go by knob position, ill fix that if I can find a pointer, the 2 wires from the meat tender were disconnected, ive got to investigate why...I really need the Tech Talk for it, I am not much of a washer mechanic, but I can fix a stove!LOL

"Did I mention it weighs 400 pounds". That is a big plus. No tin anchor to bolt to the wall to avoid a tipover with a big turkey or unsupervised child. My mother never had to tell us not to climb on the oven door. I guess things have changed 
Norgeway, your new Frigidaire is a beautiful stove. I wish you the best and hope you enjoy it! Arthur

I have the Tech talk for 1960 ranges scanned if you want it.
From a technical standpoint the shipping weight was 375 lbs.
The ACTUAL weight of the range (on-the-hoof) was 321 lbs.
