Nice Norge!

Gorgeous range Scott!!!

I'd say that "Ford" was definitely competing with "GM" on this beauty. There are lots of similar type bells and whistles (roast meter, flourescent light, lots of chrome) and, of course, those fat coils. My RCI-75-59 has the same type of coils, which have a tendency to heat up rather slowly; with the exception of the speed-heat and heat minder coils.

This is a really nice find. My suggestion for cleaning it (it doesn't really look that bad)....CLR, GooGone, and fume-free Easy Off. You need to be careful using the Easy Off around aluminum. It's ok on the porcelain and stainless though.

Good luck, and let us know how she bakes!!

Venus :-)

PS Did I spy a GE fixed heat range next to that Norge? ;-)
 
Venus, yes, that is my other "toy" a 54 "Stewardess" 36" wide GE, for now they are both set up and working in the garage, but I want to use the Philco as a daily driver, so that is my priority right now. The GE oven is great, I use that a lot, have to see if the Philco works as well. Time for a roast test.
 
Hmmm.

What if you removed and scanned the Roast Meter dial, used PhotoShop or something to remove the "crack" then printed it out on clear plastic that would cling to a piece of glass?

Interesting idea

I don't have a scanner that would do a sharp enough job, but maybe a graphics place would... after seeing that Maytag center knob graphics someone did, that might be the ticket, thanks!
 
Actually, dinner was

From Rachel Ray's "365 NO REPEATS" cookbook. Uses ground Turkey, so I wanted to be sure they were done well, ( she is a bit optimistic on cooking times to me) as she said bake the twelve meatballs 20 minutes at 400, I wanted to make sure they were done. I use an oven thermometer, oven was 400-425 and after 20 minutes, it was only on the one.. glad I used it to check!

I highly recommend the cookbook, lots of good stuff, but it is more like 60 minutes prep time, and 60 more to clean up!
