I know what you mean about the role sentimentality plays in situations like this. I gave away my mom's '49 Westinghouse range that she had used for almost 60 years. Maybe if it had been in a cabin where it was only used occasionally, it would still be in the family, but it wasn't something I wanted to have for daily driver. It went to a good home.
Can you store the Speedster if you replace it with the Stratoliner? It might make you feel better about evicting it from the kitchen where it has faithfully served for so long. I suspect the Stratoliner is higher up the model line than the Speedster, and thus more desirable to own and use. I actually prefer the work space to the side (the Westinghouse had that layout) as opposed to between the burners. It comes in handy in kitchens where counter space is lacking.
At the end of the day, the Speedster is just a stove. I can't say I miss the '49 Westinghouse at all. It was a true survivor and a symbol of the many, many meals it had produced for gatherings with family and friends as well as on an everyday basis, but I much prefer using my late model range instead.
I've seen threads here in the past that talk about the various GE models, so you may want to do a search for them. I don't know if you have access to the "Super Searchalator" feature, which is located at top right on the main forum index page. It may only be available to upgraded members.
There's no shortage of knowledge among some of the members here with regard to GE ranges. Give them some time to reply. |
