Bob, I'd bet a dishwasher or two that the Sensi-Temp was put in to replace the original thermostatic Calrod unit (you can see that at least one of the push-button units was replaced too).
Odd about the listing - on the LA Craigslist, but the location given is St-Louis MO... I'm old and suspicious of everything now! |

The only thing missing from this set up is the washer which would go on the extreme left side.

Gary, these Wonder Kitchens actually had all kinds of 'configurations' - the buyer had the choice of several components including the washer/dryer unit, the Disposall, the dishwasher, and the style of range. The option was to replace an appliance with a cupboard unit as needed. Funny that most of the ones that do turn up have (or had) the washer/dryer combo and the dishwasher.
Luckily mine came with the washer/dryer and dishwasher, but sadly the Disposall unit was missing. |

I'm thinking it's Petal Pink, or possibly Woodtone Brown. The lighting isn't very good, which causes the colors to appear distorted. |

Looking at it on a different monitor today, and in many of the pics, it does look like it could well be Almond. |

Check out the post in the link below. I think it's a '54 GE Combination -- in this same shade.
It makes me think the cream color was an option in 1954, and that the kitchen above is earlier than 1956, which would also explain why there was never a wall fridge. CLICK HERE TO GO TO rp2813's LINK |
