That one looks identical, save for the color, to my white Compact 30 range. Right down to the control clock.
Nice find!
This is a nice range, but be warned not to let liquids onto the control panel. The burner controls are a bitch to service.

PS-Does it have the original drip pans?

Did you get the model number? As I said in the first thread it was featured in, I thought it had a very interesting clock!

My childhood stove..
I had totally forgotten about...ours was a custard color i believe, along with matching Frigidaire double door refrigerator and KA dishwasher. the clock eventually got noisy late in it's life as i recall.

Poppy Frigidaire Drop-In Range
Thanks so much for posting, picking-up, Delevering this great range.
The range is compleatly orignal, and in excellent condition, the cook-top shows a little wear, the oven looks like new although you can tell it was self-cleaned at least once.
Phil, I will try to remember to get the model# and post it.
Thanks again Jerry.

Jerry Many Thanks again.
Phil R. the model # from the range is RBEG-533W Serial# 43CG1928
I did some minor adjustments and repairs on the range this evening and connected it to power and everything including the clock worked fine, the only functional problem I found was the little neon Surface Indcater is very dim, I WANT MY MONEY BACK, just kidding, the light is easy to fix.

It's a late 1974 model (July 1974).
John,
Is the model number beginning by RBEG-533W or RBE3-533W?
There were RBEG models but these were the ones with the glass door and ceramatop and according to this document, they started in mid-1975 and didn't have the "W" in the end of the number...
If the serial number plate is really stamped with RBEG, they must have made an error at the factory (there were also RBG3 533W)

Also, the clock should look like that on a 1974 model (pics show a clock from a 1973 brochure and the clock from my 1969 RBE-539N)
On yours, the clock is from a very early (1962-63) model (shown in the last picture).

There's no need to be sorry for that John! It made me scratch my head and then I had to search in my manuals! But I like doing that!

Harvest gold drop-in
Thank you, Phil!
This has been making me feel bad. Growing up, we had backyard-to-backyard neighbors that our family was good friends with and as they had a bazillion kids, I spent a ton of time over there. The reason I've felt bad, is that aside from their harvest gold Kenmore built-in dishwasher, I was never too sure what their other appliances were (save for the older Kenmore (Lady K?) washer and dryer) because I was always so focused on the dishwasher--the appliance that was my #1 why-don't-we-have-one priority. (Guess whose chores included helping with the dishes by HAND)
I'm pretty sure the harvest gold in the brochure photo that Phi posted is the stove they had. I know it was gold, and I know it was a drop-in. Looking at the picture really jogs my memory (such as it is). For example, the oven handle seems 'right' as compared to the handle on the turquoise one. And I'm pretty certain theirs was self-cleaning (probably the first self-cleaning oven I ever saw). And the little indicator light seems very familiar as well. The only thing that sort of still puzzles me is how I apparently never noticed the GM logo. The only thing I can think of is that brands didn't have an impact on me yet when I started hanging out there, and by the time they did, that stove was "wallpaper" to me. It was later in grade school when we visited someone with a Frigidaire washer--the hopping agitator fascinated me and seeing the GM logo blew my little mind! It was probably about that time I saw my first Opel GT up close and my mind was blown again that it was made by GM. I had no idea one company could make so many awesome things!
I'm still not sure about their refrigerator. It was a bottom freezer with a foot pedal to open the freezer door. I think inside the freezer was a big pull-out wire bin, but I can't say for sure. theirs did have an ice maker, which I was envious of. It made the half-moon shaped ice, as I recall.
Thank you, Phil!

Bojack...that avocado model is identical to the one I was planning on installing in my new kitchen years back..complete with window. I took it apart, cleaned it to like new and redid all the infill paint on the knobs and metalwork. And then....part of a scaffold end frame landed squarely on the front controls putting an irrepairable dent in the top and blowing apart a couple knobs. Ugh. Well, at least I kept the door...

Cadman..
that's painful!
How did you paint in the white?
Also straight above the "A" in Frigidaire, in the pic i posted, is a control or knob of some kind ours didn't have, do you know what that is/does?
So from left you have oven temp control, indicator light(s), mystery control,open space, next indicator light, then the four individual burner control dials.
