Thanks to Jeff Masoner for picking it up in Pa for me and to John Lefever for tuning it up, and bringing it to New Jersey to Martins for me, I now have a 59 Westinghouse 30 inch in my kitchen, and EVERYTHING works, even the clock!Pictures to follow. | ||

I remember that insulation from our neighbor's Westinghouse. Our GE range was not nearly as well insulated. Congratulations on your great treasure. I like those elements. | ||

Hans absolutely beautiful. Those knobs have a special place in my heart. My "other mother" was our neighbor in both neighborhoods and they bought the house across the street before we bought our. She had a 30" wall oven and probably 42" cooktop with those knobs in her late 1960/early 1961 sea foam green Westinghouse kitchen. She had a Chambers range at her old house and was extremely particular if she was going to end up with an electric kitchen. She said the Westinghouse was th3e only one with the true variable burner heat at the time and the Corox burners were the best. She was a major cook and that cooktop saw heavy use. I think she held onto it until her son could no longer keep it going. The house was a Gold Medallion house (complete with new-fangled heat pump) but there was still gas for the two outside gas lights as well as dryer and fireplace. Looks like she ended up having to replace it with a he gas cooktop in the early 2000s. The 30" Westinghouse oven resided there for years and was augmented with a 30" Whirlpool until the GEs seen in the photos. The Westinghouse WashWell with heat booster dishwasher was replaced with a KDS16 soon after the 16 series was introduced. She also had the matching washer to today's '58 dryer that's today's POD. Attached is a picture from the June 2013 real estate listing with the very same KDS16--which is the very dishwasher that caused my intense dislike for KAs. Can y'all see me in that kitchen at age 7 to almost 30? | ||

Hans, there's not in the photos of that kitchen that wasn't still original in 2013. All it would take was to bring back the cooktop, wall oven, color-matching sink, and Nutone vent. The main light is a replacement--the original was just like what's over the kitchen sink. The disposer was also Westinghouse. Most of the wall switches were still original--the little switch pads glowed in the dark (also at our house). The lights over the bar were the same ones that were in both our bathrooms as well as over our wet bar. The finish on the cabinets is original as well as the formica. From what I understand a builder bought the house--it had 4-bedrooms. I'm sure he gutted a lot of it. I was able to save all the photos from the real estate listing. I wish I had done the same with my parents' listing from 2002, but I was so torn up I couldn't deal with it. | ||

 Bob, I can sure see my late Aunt Mona in that kitchen! It's right up her alley. She had a 1962 kitchen in a custom home, and it was long and spacious. Then they built another custom home in the mid '70s, and the kitchen pictured above is sort of a hybrid of both of them.
Through it all, she held onto the same small appliances. I especially liked her two-speed chrome old-school Waring Blendor. | ||

Ralph, thank you. That kitchen belonged to the house across the street from me, had so many memories. I drank sweet tea before I even knew what Sweet Tea was. Experienced lots of laughs and lots of love. Hans, another perfect example of The Greatest Generation home owner who owned the same home for 52 years and loved just the way things were and didn't believe in going into major debt just to have the latest and greatest. It was also my last tie to where I grew up. That household was responsible for my family looking at the house across the street while we went for a visit for the first time to their new house. My memories from that first visit? The Westinghouse dishwasher quietly running when I walked in the back door. And the TOL color-coordinated Laundromat pair the builder had not managed to get out of the house from the Parade of Homes. I was sternly told not to play with them because they weren't being bought with the house by our friends. And over the years, so much incredible food came from that wonderful Westinghouse wall oven and cook top. And Hans knows exactly the type of performance and joy he will continue to experience with his new stove!!! | ||
