Super cool Electrochef stove...

[bellalaundry]

I think this stove is soooo neat! Such styling. Too bad about the asking price ($600).

Makes me wish I had an extra kitchen to put it in!

Mon Dieu!

Can you imagine the average consumer and the average parts-counter clerk trying to come up with a replacement burner element for that range?

As the late great Charles Pierce used to say, "You could be waiting until Angie Dickinson combs her hair!"

Is the

oven thermostatically controlled? How wide are they?

MIne has thermostat that is like a spin wheel. Numbers are mounted on top of the wheel and on a fraction shows as it is mounted inside the frame of the oven. There are a few versions, even a siamese one! A right handed and left handed version mounted together to create and "estate" version.
I have only seen the two colors, white and celery.

We first saw this range at the Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. It has lots of neat examples of out-of-the-ordinary things.
