Debbie Downer's $.02 I'm spoiled by the concept of pilot lights and can't imagine having to keep a stash of kitchen matches around for lighting the oven. Older stoves than your Universal have ovens that light themselves. I think you'll get tired of the lighting routine real fast.
If you have little kids who like to fiddle with knobs, I'd consider that range downright hazardous. There are properly working vintage gas stoves all over craigslist. You could find a nice one with relatively modern conveniences and recover some of its cost by selling the one you have.
Unless your gas comes from a tank outside, a range with standing pilots on everything is the way to go. | ||

My best friend has the Crown version of that range and had oven issues as well. I will ask what finally solved that. | ||
