Theoretically, there is nothing that can go wrong with an appliance that cannot be fixed. You need parts, service expertise and money, but given enough of those things, it can all be fixed.
That having been said, you want to proceed with some real caution here. The source of the gas leak may be readily apparent, like a cracked tube or valve somewhere. Then again, it could be an internal problem with a valve or something, and that's much harder to spot. Some internal parts in gas ranges are easy to find, because only a few basic designs are used. But some may be specific to a particular manufacturer and/or model. I would not count on the newer range being a parts source for the older one. Parts for vintage gas ranges are available at Antique Gas Stoves; see the link below. You need someone who knows what they're doing to put the range back in shape. And if you don't already, you need to know what a gas leak smells like! CLICK HERE TO GO TO danemodsandy's LINK | ||

I didn't mean to scare you. It might well be that the source of the leak was in the supply line to the range. But, since it might be something else, you just have to be sure, which is why I'm suggesting you find a pro who really knows what he's doing.
You might do a little Googling for gas range collector discussion groups, because they're out there. This could be as easy as asking a few questions, and getting back an answer like "Oh, that's the frammistan; they go bad on Ropers all the time. Go to So-and-So and get a new one. Any gas range guy knows how to put it in." Again, don't let me - or anyone - scare you. Just be sensible, a quality I think you already have in abundance. | ||
