Paging Launderess! Sorry to invade your thread, but does one need to do something special to make ebay links work? I copied and pasted the (lengthy) URL for a refrigerator (see the "Into Refrigerators?" thread), but all I get is an error message when I try to use the link. Your help/input/sorcery is greatly appreciated.

I had no problem clicking on the link directly, with an Windows XP (MS) and Firefox browser.
BTW, what's that gash on the stove just to the left of the dials?
Also, the lid is cool. I take it that this stove is of Germanic origin. I wonder why... there were plenty of apartment sized stoves made in the USA at the time, no? P
I remember the first time I saw a stove this size. My aunt and uncle lived in a one bedroom apartment on the second floor of a building on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village in the 50's and 60's. I remember my mom pointing out the stove to me, in the tiny kitchen, and I was shocked at how small it was. I think I said something stupid like, "that's not a stove! It's too small!", because I was familiar with our 40 inch gas range back at home in suburban Connecticut.
I remember also going back to the neighborhood in the early 1970's. My aunt by that time had divorced and was living uptown. She said she finally had to move out of the quaint but cramped little place in the village when the crowds on the sidewalk grew so dense she couldn't get into her front door! I was surprised that I was able to recognize the building - but it hadn't changed much.

Where is the Broiler?
That looks like most normal, older model apartment size gas stoves, but I dont see a broiler drawer on the bottom. I never heard of that brand either.

Neff
This is indeed a German cooker (range) with the old Neff logo - its probably about 20 or so inches wide, probably around early 1950s. The brand is very widely known in Europe and whilst not maybe the standard of Miele or Gaggneau, its still a cut above the average, although the difference is not what it once was.They do the full range of large kitchen appliances, mostly built ins
The arrangement of having the broiler in a drawer under the oven is unheard of in Europe (I cannot imagine how it ever could have caught on in the USA) - for continental cookers like this the broiler element is in the top of the oven

I see now about the broiler is in a setup like American electric ranges have always had. Although many newer style American gas models now have a separate bake and broil burner in the oven. I am guessing having the broiler in a lower drawer under the oven was because one burner could do both jobs.

I never knew!
I knew that "Neff" is Germanic, but I have only seen adverts for Neff in British magazines such as BBC GoodFood**, and Waitrose Magazine, so I was under the mistaken notion that the company was English, of German heritage.
Information like this is one of the many reasons why I love this site.
** I really like BBC GoodFood, and was bitterly disappointed when Borders closed, because I could get BBC GoodFood at Borders. The former editor-in-chief, Orlando Murrin is rather a dish himself.

Regulo Control Knob Is The Giveaway To European Design
Unlike American ranges/ovens that normally indicate temperature settings in Fahrenheit on the otherside of the pond one finds "Regulo" numbers
British or EU recipes often simply state oven temperature as a Regulo setting as in "bake at Regulo 3 for twenty minutes"
Oven Temperatures: British and US
200 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) 0 = 95 degrees C.
225 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) ¼ = 110 degrees C.
250 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) ½ = 120 degrees C.
275 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) 1 = 135degrees C.
300 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) 2 = 150 degrees C.
325 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) 3 = 165 degrees C.
350 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) 4 = 175 degrees C.
375 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) 5 = 190 degrees C.
400 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) 6 = 200 degrees C.
425 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) 7 = 220 degrees C.
450 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) 8 = 230 degrees C.
475 degrees F.= Gas Mark (Regulo) 9 = 245 degrees C.
Really is a neat if not small range. Wonder how many were sold/installed in the USA? Suppose once one got used to the numbered oven settings baking/cooking was not a problem.
Love the single burner oven arrangement. Never understood why American gas ovens most always had a broiler under the main oven.

Regulo
Just a small correction Laundress, Regulo setting have only ever been used in GAS ovens, never electric which have always been governed by Farenheit or now Centigrade temperatures. Its appears to be primarily a British measure although other countries have adopted something similar - see link

I did not zoom in and see the oven control knob as most apartment size US versions had the knob placement the same with the oven control in the center. I really thought from the style it just was an older American made stove. It is a cool range though but I could see having the broiler below, like my Whirlpool does, you can do 2 things at once as long as you stay right with it to watch the progress of each where with a double burner setup it is one or the other.

To be honest I hardly ever buy any such magazines as I have more than enough receipe books to be going on with not to mention all the goodies which crop up here. But I am intrigued about the Waitrose magazine, how do you get that one? It is about the only one I do read, but that is free when shopping in Waitrose and using my JL credit card. When done with the magazine I usually tear out pages with recipies I like and keep them in a binder, which is getting pretty full!
I usually shop in Waitrose once a month so manage to get most of them - Waitrose is a premium store and is not cheap but I usually try and by all my meat and fish products there.

Fudging of flavours,???
Had not realised Neff were slightly lesser in everything compared to Miele Gaggenau etc but from what I have seen of recent models i am suitably impressed especially with the easy access drop down slide in door models.
Reccomended the brand to my Mum who is currently having extension work and a new kitchen/conservatory (think Delia a la The Winter Collection LOL) complete with Neff oven, microwave and the biggest shock of all, willingly swapping her Gas hob for Induction!
We all have high hopes of the Neff stuff after seeing some pretty shoddy mainstream branded ovens. Fingers crossed!

To be honest I think that is a bit of a gimmick although I can see the benefit in a small kitchen. I got a new Neff oven just after Christmas and although more BOL (I just did not use the features of more TOL versions) I am somewhat disappointed with the build quality and "weight" of the shelves. However I absolutly swear by the combo/microwave (similar to the Siemens one Mike had) with is brilliant.
She will love the induction. I love the idea of Delia "Winter Collection" - if I had my time over again I would have done the same thing.
As I posted on here a while back, I have bought a vintage Neff oven (I might have known that after shelling out on a new one the exact vintage one I wanted would show up) and once fully tested I will be installing that - the new one is headed for ebay...

I would like to subscribe to BBC GoodFood, but mailing to the States is just exorbitant.

I have a British cook book and it states "Bake at Gas Mark 4" then the time. The entire cookbook has the settings like that. So you know what method is being used.
Gas Mark 4
Allen
That refers to Regulo 4 which equals 350 F.
I suggest you cut and paste the table above that Laundress has kindly typed out in reply 11, print it, trimming the page to an appropraite size and keep it in the book, you will always have the conversion ready to hand
