Yikes!

Not just a Liberator, a PANK Liberator.

Full-house luxury, circa 1957 - Two lighted automatic ovens, two storage drawers, an Automatic Calrod burner at the front left, a temperature probe for the big oven (with its own storage compartment in the big storage drawer), chrome oven door liners, lift-off oven doors, dual convenience outlets (one timed), Tel-A-Cook lighted keyboard burner controls, Starlight Grey porcelain in the ovens, a plug-in automatic griddle (controlled by the Automatic Calrod control for perfect temperature every time) and a full-width lighted control panel with a ribbed glass backsplash to protect Milady's fine kitchen wallpaper.

Three hundred pounds of solid American craftsmanship that set someone back about $539.95 back in the day - equal to about $4100 in today's puny money.

Someone thought they'd died and gone to Heaven the day this thing was delivered, trust me. I hope its next owner has the good sense to feel the same way.

NIce!! We have the exact same Liberator in Yellow...

for sale, $300 if anyone is interested! In Binghamton NY. Includes Owners Manual and Service Manual (copy of the latter). Selling only because of space limitations.

Firedome:

Just curious (don't have space for a 40-inch range):

Does your Liberator still have its griddle and probe? And does its Automatic Calrod burner still work?

 

[firedome]

No griddle or probe,

but have seen them on FleaBay... everything works as of now, but with a 50+ year old appliance, as we all know, one never knows for how long!

I love this range! This is an action shot of mine - wonderful baking!

Mon Dieu!

Greg:

That thing is cleaner than many a six-month-old range!

And no wire hangers, right? ;-)[this post was last edited: 9/26/2012-16:06]
