Been looking for a while...
and today it happened.
1961 Frigidaire Custom Imperial RCI-39-61 in sunny yellow
or what ever Frigidaire called it.
$40 from second owner. He had a matching working refrigerator but
it had already sold.
It needs cleaned up and a few issues addressed and then it will make it's
way to my kitchen.
The last picture is what it will replace. It's not a horrible stove, but
it's black and I really don't like it. The rest of the kitchen is
all white.

Great Catch !
That's going to look so good in your kitchen, Bill . The price was certainly great and the clean owner's manual is a testament to how well they took care of this stove. Congrats!

Almost forgot..
the rotisserie and temp probe for the Meat Tender
were also included.
I'm excited to get it cleaned and tested to see what works
and what needs attention.
The roasting/broiling pan shows up at sales quite often here
so I'll have to look for that too.

Great score Bill! It's going to look so much better than the black one you have in the kitchen currently.

Great score!
And the last model with the French doors! I also like the control panel on the 1961 very much.
I have the 1962 version which lost the French doors and the storage drawer trim. The only improvement on the 1962 was the broiler grill control that was back after a one year absence on the 30" Custom Imperial. The addition of this control required to paint the lower part of the control panel in gray, instead of leaving it clear, which in addition to the clock makes it less visually interesting than the 1961 control panel.
I wish I had a 1961 range like yours to match with my 1961 refrigerator. 1961 was the last year that Frigidaire matched the storage drawers of their ranges with the lower panel of their fridges.
