That range looks similar to the one Sandy wanted. |

That's a great-looking refrigerator! I wish it opened the other way, if so I could use it. As far as "alabaster"... unless it's been repainted somewhere along the way that's totally wrong. It looks to be pink to me, especially since the choices in 1964 would have only been white, coppertone, pink, yellow and turquoise.

The range in that shot is a variant of my J 370. GE offered a promotional model based on the J 370 that had those chrome strips at the sides of the cooktop, but without the Sensi-Temp.
Words cannot describe my gratitude at not having those chrome strips on my J 370. Those things are the grease-catchers of all time, requiring frequent use of a clean toothbrush to winkle schmutz out of the crevice between chrome and cooktop. I hate 'em. |

Absolutely. There was never any confusion about that.
My point was, this model has only cursory freezer space when compared to other GE single-door models of similar or even much earlier vintage (perhaps barely enough height for four ice trays stacked), and the script on the door handle reads "Fresh Food Refrigerator" which is not seen on other single door models to my knowledge. This model appears to place emphasis on maximizing fresh food storage.
If Kelly were still with us, he could likely provide information. He had a refrigerator-only unit in his kitchen, which had just a tiny freezer area required to provide the cooling effect. |

This is a 1965 model. It does not show up in the 1964 catalog that Robert posted a while back (pdf form), but it is in the 1965 catalog. It is a 'Combination Refrigerator-Freezer' and has 11.6 cu ft of refrigerated capacity and 0.91 cu ft of freezer capacity. Definitely for folks who wanted an almost all refrigerator.
