Near new looking Kenmore stove at our restore for $150 Canadian.

A lighted backdrop AND an outlet! Canadian stoves rock!

Sadly the outlets have disappeared here as well. They were so convenient for plugging in your small appliances. Cost savings I guess.

Do any of you know who the manufacturer of this was? It looks slightly like the one my friend Richard has, which I think is Whirlpool.

It had more to do with ungrounded small appliances being used on a grounded appliance and the resulting shock hazard. This was from about the same time as Underwriters Laboratories mandating push to turn surface unit controls.
