I am looking to purchase a turquoise cooktop. Prefer a Hotpoint, but open to any brand. Want one with the thin burners. Will be ok with shipping to Arizona. Thanks.

Justin, I don't think it will take long for a turquoise cooktop to turn up in your area, but I also realize that now that you're pursuing one, they may all go into hiding for a while and every other imaginable color will show up instead.

If the Turquoise proves elusive, don't forget that brushed chrome/stainless goes with any color. The kitchen designer who did my St. Charles kitchen many years ago liked to use brushed chrome cooktops, because everyone wanted gas ones, which are expensive to replace. He said that the brushed chrome would let his clients change color on other appliances without having to go through the drama of replacing the gas cooktop.

rp2813: It does appear that when you are not looking for something, you find them all the time, but when you are looking for something, it never seems to show up.

Sandy: I know where a G.E. brushed chrome cooktop is located for only $25. I may purchase it and use it.

sorry I couldn't help out with some better prices and as others say, they come along when you're not needing them or short on funds....good luck countryford. Personaly, the last unit that was a Hotpoint brushed stainless appealed to me, but the "Price is Wrong"

ovrphil: I appreciate you posting those links. It is always nice to have people to assist in searching for something.

I found this one in Ames, Iowa. Not a bad price. Is anyone in the area available to pick it up for me and ship it down here to Arizona? What do you think the shipping on something like this would be?

Good one and

Great price, Justin! There's a woman who can do that inexpensively - forget her name, but many here know about her. As she travels, she picks these up and on her way to one long destination, I think it's how she does it, she'll drop off whatever appliances and things that come up along her route(s).

Someone will know who I'm talking about - sorry I forgot.


Phil

I know who your talking about. but being that it is a stove top, couldn't UPS or FedEx be sufficient?

I did have one shipped from the midwest to Vermont with UPS or FedEx recently (I can't remember which) and it wasn't very expensive.

Just make sure that the seller is careful with the way it's packaged as UPS and FedEx can be rough with packages. Mine arrived with no damage!

I was thinking she was less expensive, that's all...FedEx or UPS, sure.

Justin - I hope you decided on this and saw this other offer, as well:

Vintage GE Cooktop and Range hood and Oven - $100 (Falls) - scranton.craigslist.org/atq/47088...

it's further away, so the $150 difference in price is probably of no value - but it did have the wall oven included in the price, just in case ....

I like that one as well. I don't need the wall oven though. If someone in PA could pick it up for me and ship the cooktop and vent, they can resell the wall oven or keep it.

I came across another one, too, this morning searching for vintage ge stoves, but can't find the link now. You have choices there, anyways, so hope someone can help you out.

Justin, here's the one you want:

firedome's profile picture
a pic I got from eBay... it's long gone, but here's the thing: I have a mint Hotpoint turquoise cooktop, but missing all the controls, burners etc, in other words just the turquoise metal panel part, but if you can find one in any color, you can have mine for free ie: for cost of shipping. I've saved this for 10 years. If you can find a Hotpoint of this type in another color with the push button controls between the front burners you can convert it to turquoise color and I'd be glad to see it go to a good home:

the push button controls are more between the smaller (rear) burners, not the front as I stated before... it's been about 10 years since it had any burners at all, so I forgot the orientation!
