So, I picked this up yesterday. It's supposed to be for someone else, but if she decides she doesn't want it, I guess I"m stuck with another turquoise stove--lol. I'm having trouble determining the year as the badge is fairly hard to see. The model number starts with JM and the serial with JA.
Per the website that helps you identify your stove, there is no month listed for "J", and I'm guessing of the years listed for "M", that 1971 is probably accurate and "A" would be 1977. Is the stove that new, or am I reading the site wrong? products.geappliances.com/applian... |

The beautiful colors were gone by then - and we had the most awfully ugly palette imaginable.
These stoves are of an unusual size, but they were of outstanding quality, easily better than anything you can buy today for any amount of money. If she doesn't want it, I'd definitely keep it. This was pretty much the end of great colors, good design and great function. |

Thank you all for the information. I did not know the timeframe of the turquoise phase out, so that's useful info to go by.
The guy I got it from says it was working when it was pulled out, and judging from the age of the house, it was probably the original stove to the home. It appears to be in good shape for it's age, with a couple of dings in the porcelain. Since it's not mine(yet), I just gave it a basic cleaning, but it does need more. Sadly, only the stove and a newer refrigerator was saved--everything else got thrown out (house is MCM and is being gutted and flipped). There was a lonely little MCM light fixture in the bathroom that didn't get tossed, so the guy was kind enough to give it to me. |
