You have a beautiful stove and we had one almost like it. I wish I had room, honestly, but I have 11 electric stoves in this house already. They are all all prize finds. John is talking about trying to get rid of some of what I thought were going to be beautiful ranges in the museum so none of mine can find safe shelter over there. There is one 30" gas stove outside under the deck for emergencies. There are many of us who do like old electric ranges and in most cases the parts for fixing electric stoves are far more generic than comparable parts for old gas stoves. I hope as much as you that someone can save your range. It is interesting that as early as the late 1950s, the 30 inch electric range was outselling 40" models. I would imagine that the wide ovens offered in 30" ranges were a big selling point and gave most cooks the oven capacity they needed. Also, as kitchens began to feature more counterspace and cupboards, the extra storage in 40" ranges as well as the work space on top was not needed as much. I have seen pictures in old magazines and cookbooks where the stand mixer is being used on the space next to the surface units and the cord plugged into the outlet on the control panel of 40" ranges. That was how you put a cake together.
