I picked up a 1977-79 Chambers gas cook-top with the { in the top broiler and griddle ] and it has electric spark ignition, it is in good condition and works but as always could use some minor detailing. It is SS with four cast iron Daisy burners and factory dark blue porcelain drip bowls and is set for natural gas.

Let me know if anyone is interested, it can go for anything over scrap value or it can join the SQ Ultra-Mate that I scrapped yesterday.

Hi Roger, Thanks for your suggestion about the Chambers guy in RI, I called him and he said he would take it for parts but did not want to pay for having it shipped. So it is still available, or it might eventually get dropped off in RI.

This Chambers being from the time period of 1977-9 does not have an automatic surface burner, I think all manufacturers stopped these sometime in the early 1970s. GE was one of the few that kept an automatic burner on their TOL Americana Hi-Low range and one built-in cook-top into the early 1980s. I always thought it was such a shame that range manufacturers did not put  this great feature  on 2, 3 or even better yet all four burners, if they had done this people would have learned to use them rather than it just being the one odd burner.

Can anyone imagine how many burned meals would been prevented, how many more great cooks would have been around and most of all how many tea kettles and other pieces of cookware would have been saved not to even mention the thousands of kitchens and complete homes that  would have been saved from fires if this great convenience would have become commonplace.

Playpin, I will try to get a picture on line but it may not happen for a few days, if you need any information sooner E mail me, John.
