Dashboard on this stove is very unique - especially the burner controls. Looks nice - cheap. About 1 hour south of Minneapolis.

That is a very strangely configured panel.  I wonder what the shades for the lamps looked like.  I have a feeling they could have been (white?) glass since they're both missing, and were shaped to extend and connect the two bulb-outs on either side.

 

Worth $25 if homely is your thing.

Hmm

I think it's kind of attractive, but in the way that the relentless pursuit of symmetry overwhelmed function. :-) I think I'd be annoyed as hell with those burner controls after a while.

Remember what we said about the early infinite heat controls working via a clockwork mechanism? The Admiral range in another posting has the controls clustered similar to this and for the same reason.

I had a Super Deluxe version

Of this, Window in the door, color lighted controls..ETC, it was beautiful, and really like new..but it absolutely baked the worst of anything I ever used bar none!! I dont know why, it had a big old Robertshaw thermostat like was used in the early 50s Frigidaires, and held the temperature dead on, but nothing baked evenly, layer cakes would be burned on the edges, etc!

Hans, there were several oven problems in the early 50s that plagued electric range manufacturers as they transitioned from the open coil bake elements to sealed rod elements. GE, for a time used a bake element that, instead of having straight sides that were parallel to the sides of the oven, were wavy so there was more mass than if the element had just run in a straight line and the element was placed under a black porcelain evenizer. There turned out to be too much heated mass at the bottom of the oven so that baked goods over browned on the bottom from the intense amount of radiant heat, even when the temperature was correct. It was like baking in Pyrex without lowering the oven setting, even in metal pans. Not only was an evenizer not needed with a sealed rod element, but the sealed rod element stayed hotter longer after the heat cycled off, producing more radiant heat longer than an open coil bake element under an evenizer did. This might have been the problem with the oven you had.

Here's a similar one, with the piece of trim that's missing on the one above.

(this one has a fluorescent according to the wiring diagram picture).
