This has been on Mpls craigslist for a while. Seems like it's in good shape. Right up the freeway from me. $50.

That's very, very similar to my J757 - an earlier version, in fact - but there are some important differences that mean it wouldn't be a good parts machine.
To begin with, it's based on the first Americana series, which means its burners are pushbutton-controlled, not rotary-controlled. The pushbuttons are built into the trim at the sides of the cooktop, making that trim completely different. The lack of rotary controls means she can't donate any burner controls and maybe not any SensiTemp controls. The backguard glass is also completely different, with the clock center-mounted, not at the far left, as with my range. And she's Avocado, which means she can't donate any exterior panels. Well, she could, but I wouldn't want to live with the result. A photo of one of these is below, so that you can see the cooktop pushbuttons. |
