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.
Sold for $3??? wow!
Demand isn't what many would imagine for these huge old ranges.
More to point things come down to what it usually does for large major appliances, where is thing located and how to get it.
This was an "as is and where is" auction. Winning bidder would need to show up on date and time specified to fetch that heavy range. Unless one lived in area, is willing to drive, and also has equipment (including manpower) to shift that thing it just doesn't work.
Yes , it may be possible to hire a crating and freight company, but for something size and weight of that range it's gong to cost quite dear to shift it from point "A" to "B".
