Terrace top ..
I think that was a great idea!, Isn't it amazing what wonderful innovations were thought up years ago, I wonder what happened, the stuff built today is so plain by comparison.

Westinghouse Electronic
Would love to see the Westinghouse Electronic in action. It'll be a great piece to show. I have no real desire to jump-start mine but I may be changing my mind on that.
I've run into some leakers over the years. The worst units had cavity or door damage though and were quickly put out of service.
Thanks Peteski for that TAPPAN Electronic ad. Clearly my unit looks very much like it although my knobs are different. I presume they designed the oven and ran it from the 1950s - 1960s with some rolling changes. Microwave cavities are not easy to design and so they probably didn't want to play with the design too often.
If anyone can tell me how to decipher the year of manufacture on a TAPPAN label I would appreciate it.

I remember seeing...--
--One Westinghouse terrace-top electric range... It was at a Salvation Army store & in turquoise...
Only there had been a fire in the oven, so the inside was totally charred, and even burned through the vent going through one of the burners on the cooktop above...
I also remember seeing one Westinghouse 20" in a used appliance store that was closed & it had "Westinghouse" going across the front of the stove & even the "W" lit up, too...

Westinghouse
A 1965 that can broil on both sides at once - thats a new one to me. I bet it left a big mess on the oven floor unless the drip pan was under the bottom heating element.

TAPPAN Electronic relatives
I was perusing the TAPPAN original tech data supplied with the TAPPAN Electronic R-4.
On some of the data, in teensie-weensie print they remark other models:
R4, R-4A (Probably TAPPAN here...)
OLB22XX (Sounds like Westinghouse to me)
PBR-1 (Who is this?)

westinghouse no turn speed broil
Pete my 1965 WH self-cleaning range in my basement has the no turn SB feature. When you used it you placed the bottom of the broiler pan on the 2nd shelf below the food being cooked so there really wasn't much mess to clean up. My range also has the motorized stirrer on the RF 8" element. This range also has the temperature controlled 6" elements on the left. But best of all the oven is self-cleaning including the porcelain drip bowls in just over 1 hour. WH had the fastest and most energy efficient SC oven clean cycle, and easiest to use just latch the door and select clean on the selector switch, no confusing clock to set.

Thanks John for the information - it is amazing we used to have such awsome stuff and it seemed like progress was being made back than. And now we have worked our way backwards in technology!
Best Wishes,
Peter

I wonder why Westinghouse ranges, are not as common as GE/Hotpoint or Frigidaire, to me, they were at least as good, and in most ways much better.

Westinghouse electric broiler microwave (1957?)
I have one of these classic microwaves (anecdotally referred to as the first microwave in the state of Maine) in my kitchen, and I'm interested in finding a new home for it. Where does someone advertize an item like this to sell? I see the thread mentions that it might be a museum piece, and on Google I did find one just like it at a college museum in Indiana.

And!
Boy would it take some work! The Estate stove company was aquired by Noma Electric in the 40s...Yes the Christmas Light people, Then in the 50s RCA got involved, im not sure but I think they were gobbled up by Whirlpool, if you remember RCA was on Whirlpool at one time, so I dont know who bought who, but I do know that the range pictured was one of the last Estate ranges made, 55 or 56 I believe, maybe John L will know, he is more of an expert than I am.

The large burners look very similar to the ones used in Frigidaire ranges. Are they the same?
Westinghouse Ranges...--
--Very Under-Rated!!!!
Seems a shame to me, too, that they never caught on; I try to look for them all the time Online (Google, eBay, etc.)...
Maybe the majority of electric range consumers preferred the majority of GE (the majority actually sold & many in use today!) and Westinghouse just couldn't work all the bugs out of theirs...

RCA units..
These were made by a company called T-K., short for Terro and Kift, referred to as "Monotubes", Frigidaire either bought there units from them or liscense built them, Admiral,Some Kelvinators as wll as Universal all used them...Oh yeah, Philco did also, To my mind ,very good units, a tad slower than Calrods, but longer lasting and more even..IMHO!

This 1957 model looks really good in a more modern kitchen!

That..
Is the largest wall oven I think, ever made! Lenoir NC, my hometown had a large number of these as we had 2 Westinghouse dealers, I believe that thing is about 36 inches wide, maybe 30, but in any case...its a whopper!

My grandmother's Westinghouse wall-oven was similar to that... She had a matching cooktop, single door fridge & drawer-type dishwasher, too...
They may have gotten replaced w/ new stuff by now...
I'm sure there was some movie I saw that had a Westy wall oven like that one, too...

[Correction needed on previous post: Meant "sold on RELIABILITY", not "sold on majority"...]
