Oh wow - the original GE dishwasher is still there too!!
Those push button switches can be tricky, but the good news is that replacements can still be found if necessary. Before going down that route, however, I'd suggest that you try removing one and giving it a good shot of contact cleaner. It may just free up the switch again. |

That was quite the with-it kitchen in 1967!
Another suggestion would be to check the appliance listings on craigslist, using a search term like "vintage" or "older." I've seen entire cook tops and hoods with push-button controls turn up there.
Oven hinges can be tricky and may require more disassembling than you feel comfortable with. Maybe others here will have some suggestions for an easy repair to try. |

Would be a simple fix, the switches and units are easily obtainable, and its much better than anything available today. |

Fixit, just noticed the dark spot on the back splash. Could that be from an electrical short? Where in ATL are you? |
