What a beauty. I bet with a good clean up and restoration this will be a true gem. Have always wanted to see one of these "real time". | ||

I bet it was like an ocean liner.... I have always had a gas range with an electric oven. Have never cooked with a gas oven. I remember a discussion, here, several years ago, where someone pointed out the differences in a gas and electric oven.
Does this range have a pilot light? | ||

It has A BUNCH of pilot lights, These bake wonderfully because they have a modulating thermostat, in other words the flame lowers and raises instead of being off and on, much more even and accurate temperature. | ||

Godfather stove, is it 72 inches? Must weigh a quarter ton. Six men to move it, and the two on the sides have to move away so it fits through door ways. | ||

Hans, I had never known this about a gas oven (modulating thermostat)....also, I bet that range was a nice one in the Winter months. Man, can you imagine in the Summer with a bunch of pilot lights? | ||

Old Roper Gas Range It is around 6 feet wide and while heavy it is not nearly as heavy as many of the [ so called ] professional ranges are today.
While it has 8 burners, it has no high-power burners, two small ovens, but it does have a nice big griddle and a high center broiler.
It best feature is the vintage look, other than this you would be better off just getting two 30" ranges and installing them SXS if you are serious about cooking and not spending the rest of your life cleaning an old range. | ||

You're right Larry with all those pilots, since pilots waste on average 1/3 of yearly gas usage. You got the equivalent of 2 apartment size 20" gas stoves with a fitted griddle with and upper broiler in the middle. My 30" gas Whirlpool works fine for me but I could easily cook everything on 1/3 of that stove. I would swear if those top burner knobs were turned 180 degrees, they would be the same as the ones on our Kenmore growing up.
