Looks a little dirty, but maybe I'm being over-critical?
Ad reads: " This rare and wonderful stove has low miles, is in great shape, clean, and ready to adorn your mid century modern home. Oven door is shiny stainless inside. Cool! Good luck finding another range of this vintage and quality for your electric kitchen. Standard 30" width, SHALLOW DEPTH! That's right, the front of this baby sits flush with your cabinets. Try buying one like that today! Standard 220v, plug it in and start channeling your inner Julia Child. Push button stovetop controls show different color lights depending on heat level. Remember the push button automatics on the 50's Chryslers? Sweet. Works great, even the clock works and keeps great time. It's as if time stood still, its 1957 again with all the chrome and beautiful details. And the gorgeous Butter Yellow color truly makes it one of a kind. GE model# J-304, made with pride in Louisville, Kentucky. Standard size burner elements never go out of style, and are always available. Even the original brochures are available for download. Check it out: www.automatice.org/cgi-bin/index.... Electric~RA Still plugged in, come see it work. I originally listed this for $500. Hurry! First $340 cash gets it, bring your truck, van or trailer. Easy pick up near 280 and 85 free ways. " CLICK HERE TO GO TO ovrphil's LINK on San Francisco Craigslist |

Most of the ranges I've found need a complete take-apart and detail cleaning anyway, but our standards are probably higher than average. I'd be happy with the as-found state of this range compared to some I've seen.
Oddly, our Habitat store had a stack of these wired Calrod elements one day, a few even NOS still in packages. |

Check out this active thread for an example (although they made this type with minor interior/exterior changes into the mid-'60s): CLICK HERE TO GO TO rp2813's LINK |

GE originally called their color "Canary Yellow". Did they change the designation to "Sunshine Yellow" at a later date? The Hotpoint yellow is called "Sunburst Yellow". |
