Can't see the picture
For some reason, I don't know why, the picture of whatever that I'm to fight wild tigers for - is not visible on my screen. I see a red x in the upper left corner. Somebody please send me the picture or tell me what to do. If I'm to fight wild tigers, I need real motivation.
Much fun!

John, do you mean the pictures at the top of the thread or in reply #14? If it's the former, are you having the same trouble when you click on the link to the Craigslist ad?

P.S.:
It occurs to me that this model is an early appearance of the "upswept top" that became standard on GE ranges. For a long time, GE constructed the control panels of most models in a separate housing attached to the cooktop, with the result that there was a seam where the control panel housing met the cooktop - just where it would catch the maximum amount of grease and schmutz. This situation lasted through '71, with GE finally making a move toward a one-piece cooktop/housing assembly on most models in '72. My J 370, built in that year, has the one-piece "upswept" design.

Sandy,
That top (upswept) was introduced by GE in 1957.

My heart bleeds GE RED!
I love this color! Well, in pictures anyway, I've not seen it in person. There was another GE red range in Shawnee, KS a while back on ebay, here's the AW thread. It sold for $20.50, the auction and pics can still be seen on ebay. I had that KS range on my watchlist and it was all I could do at the time to not bid on it. What a looker!
Good for you, Lawrence, I'm glad you're going after it. The rarer the color, the more exciting it is and then red, from GE!
In my superserchalator search, I also came upon a GE mixer in the same color. See that thread here.

Speechless, just speechless!
Thanks Phil & Sandy for sending the pictures as email attachments. Something is screwy with my computer? Not sure why, but some photos won't load in. I could see the red stove, but not the washer/dryer. And yes, Tigers would be no problem for red appliances.
Now to the real jaw dropper - Greg, that red GE stove, where was I at when you posted that. It was literally in my backyard so to speak - and for $20! My life gets so busy that I don't log on sometimes for days. There's so much to see and read daily on AW, that if you miss a couple of days, you can really miss out! Wow, I could kick myself for missing that. If anyone sees another red appliance, near me, that you're not going to purchase, please email me, in case I'm in la la land or otherwise asleep at the switch.
Thanks
John

Was the stove the only appliance marketed in this color or did GE also market fridges and dishwashers as well?

GE Made
That style stove for many years, the first models had the clock standing up on the back like a big round eye, they made these in 30 and 40 inch, divided and clustered top, until the pushbuttons went away in the 70s.I would bet there were more of these sold than any other single style range, I have seen them from bol with no light and no oven light to this model in the special red, which was the tol of this style, my hometown is full of them!..but most are bol or mol, ive never seen this one except in pictures.

Yeah, I get that GE pioneered the upswept design long before '72, but it was not until then that they went across-the-board with it.

Bought it
My brother and I drove over to Pensacola yesterday morning and bought the red GE. The woman who was selling it had owned the range for something 40 years and I thought she was going to cry when she started telling me about it. She purchased the range when it was about 10 years old from the original owner, when that owner moved into a retirement/nursing home. The Pensacola owner has a passion for red.
The stove needs work. She said that they cleaned it up before posting the ad, but it has a long way to go. I've cleaned on the oven and some of the cabinet but the rest will have to wait as I'm heading back to Atlanta tomorrow. I believe all 4 of the burners could stand to be replaced, each for a different reason. And I will have to take everything apart on the backsplash to remove the grease that's built up. But "Ol' Red" is in my Mobile house and will be waiting for me when I come back next time.
There are numerous chips in the porcelain - any suggestions as to how to find a suitable touch-up paint in this color???
