Out with the old- in with the old

Many thanks to our webmaster, Robert Seger, for coming over yesterday with the Escalara to help me swap out our basement stove. The GE is nice but pretty plain. Click/timer never worked and the buttons were seizing up. A few years back I found a replacement stove that needed some work. A 1957 Frigidaire. I had the Cookmaster rebuilt, found a replacement glass panel and replaced two switches and burners.

The GE was a 36 inch and the Frigidaire is a 30 inch so I am going to make a small filler cabinet/ counter to take up the space. It looks great and works great!

Thanks again, Robert!

GE needs a new home!

I hate to scrap the GE stove. It’s really nice. Very minimal use as this was a canning kitchen b the original owners. Does need a new electrical cord. Old one is very brittle. Cleaned it up and threw a tarp over it in the garage for the short term.

Any AW members that want this stove- FREE- let me know and you can pick it up in Minneapokis, MN.

Nice upgrade!  The GE truly is in beautiful shape, but there's no question that the Frigidaire is a far more attractive range.

I wish

I was closer, I like those GEs

Now the upstairs and downstairs are matchy-matchy! Love that 57, stunning range. Knowing Gary, this range is likely the cleanest in the neighborhood. Congrats on the change, definitely an upgrade.

Wow, Gary, that's a beauty of a Frigidaire range!  You need a Charcoal Cold Pantry now.... LOL

No more room!

Would love a Frigidaire Cold Pantry but I already have a nice basic 1957 Frigidaire in white. Space is pretty limited so this works. Plus it works great and I paid $60 for it 3 years ago!
