Nice GE double oven rotisserie

Amazing an oven that's fairly high-end model for itws day didn't have self-cleaning oven.
That sure is a nice one, with the deluxe handles and window trim. Not sure of it's age, but I'd say '64 - '68.
Was thinking the control panels with the vent slots were only used on the self-clean models, but I don't see the latch above the door for SC. Many of the double ovens are self-clean in the top oven only, even current ones. One of my cousins had a similar dbl. oven in Harvest Gold, totally non self-clean, and it lacked the vent slots below the knobs.

That double oven will be working long after most of the electronic crap is scrapped for blown components that cannot be replaced. The controls were very dependable. Being non-self cleaning, the porcelain liners will keep their "like new" gloss as will the racks. Self cleaing was a new enough feature that high end ovens were offered with all of the features except self cleaning, especially since the first self cleaners did not offer windows. Thanks for sharing the picture, Jon.

That's a P7! We had one similar to this (no rotissarie) in one of our houses and really liked it a lot. I would guess this is about a 1970 model or so. The one we had was a 69 model.
No, not a P*7
Very unusual model, a JK26!The Louisville Gremlins strike again! Usually they were 14's, 24's, 07's, 17's and 27's. This model might have been made during a year that the self-cleaners were available but I've never seen this configuration before. I guess because it's one number down from the 27,which was their TOL, it has the rotisserie feature, but no meat thermometer. Also, I've never seen a GE built-in oven with patterned glass. Hotpoints and Frigidaires had them, but not GE's.
It's a beautiful double-oven and I would think it would last another 40 years. We had two, one from 1962 and a self-cleaner from 1973. I don't know what has happened to the first one, but I know that the 1973 model is still in use. Frankly, I care less and less about the self-cleaning feature as time goes on. It ruined the chrome on the racks(they sort of warned us about that back then, but it was such a selling point they just said that you could brush some vegetable oil on them to help them glide again), and put out so much heat and objectionable odors into the kitchen that you had no choice but to install a powerful dedicated oven ventilation hood. The insulation around the oven made it almost worth it.
And I so agree with Tom; I don't want another digitally controlled oven again. Give me reliable analog controls.

That's my oven!!
Hi, I'm new here, that's my e-bay listing, I listed it for a friend that is moving, it was used in their garage when they had big family dinners. It is not a P-7 which is designination for self cleaning which it is not. It's still for sale here in NW Indiana.
