 The asking price may seem high, but you couldn't achieve such an authentic retro look with new cabinetry, counter tops and appliances for $5K today. A "Big Chill" refrigerator alone would set you back that much.
The obvious problem is that this assemblage is designed to fit a particular layout, and would require some well-designed and crafted modifications to look original in a kitchen with even a moderately different floor plan.
Since the price is negotiable, even if it's not a perfect fit, this grouping has the potential to provide someone with their dream kitchen. My hat is off to the seller for not parting it out. | ||

That is a very cool kitchen. It had to be top-of-the-line for its time. | ||

Doug:
That kitchen was top-of-the-line for its manufacturer, not its time.
GE's cabinetry was of good, solid quality, don't get me wrong, but once you'd been around Geneva or St. Charles stuff, you saw the difference. For a time, I had a St. Charles kitchen, and my mom had a Youngstown. Big difference. Big difference. | ||

Marie Barrone here, I'd have entertained it if only the original dishwasher was part of the set. No insult to KitchenAid, but that dishwasher was probably an SU-70 or at least a turquoise Princess. I admire people who had the sense to buy and use those wonderful GE 2-burner units to their best advantage. Those people were cooks. | ||
