They sure were built to last weren't they?

Good God, it looks flawless.

That's certainly an item I'd be beaming with pride to own.

Can't say that about any range made today.

Tuttle & Kiff surface units.

I'm no fan of electric stove tops, but like Dan said, this one is so perfect that I'd probably be willing to revisit the many decades of using my mom's '49 Westinghouse.  This range has the mirror image layout and maybe the T&K burner elements are superior to Corox.  The deep well pot and its open coil burner look identical to the Westinghouse version, and even the knobs look very similar.

The main advantage to the TK elements is that unlike the Corox elements, the entire surface of the unit is heated at all heat settings. That is also the primary disadvantage of them and the added bulk it presents, just like Radiantubes.
