This one listed is a Belaire model I believe. The Aristocrat is top of the line and has a chrome cook surface, not porcelin. I have tried to buy a few of these, including one that was owned by Fred Astaire. The Aristocrats are worth at least $15,000 in top condition. This seller has listed this one two previous times, dropping the bid by $1000 with each relist. I agree - for his asking price, the clock and timer should be working. A Belaire is probably worth a little less than an Aristocrat, so his current price is still high for a less than perfect model.
