Space Age 1959 Hotpoint Range

What a great looking control panel on this Hotpoint range. The cook would feel like they were piloting the Jupiter II! I hope that someone might save this, the current owner may scrap it...

Interesting that the seller notes "[COLOR=rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: "Bitstream Vera Serif", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal]The stove top is fully functional. The elements aren't..." <span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Wonder if they mean in the oven?[/COLOR]</span>

The ad is a month old and indicated the stove would be dispatched to the scrap heap on, I'm guessing, 3/10.

 

That is one nutty looking console.  More buttons than there are burners.  I'm not surprised that the seller couldn't find any records of this model.  It looks like there was a lot to go wrong with that control panel.  I hope this stove was saved by some patient person.

The oven settings were via buttons, not dials. That accounts for the two banks of 4 buttons each.
