A Chambers cooktop with the KitchenAid name on it. It actually looks very nice and certainly seems worth the $300 asking price. In Palm Desert. CLICK HERE TO GO TO twintubdexter's LINK on Palmsprings Craigslist

Chambers family sold the company and it was subsequently gobbled up by KitchenAid (when it was still a division of Hobart), which then in turn was sold to Whirlpool.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chambers_s... Due to changes in demographics and or whatever Chambers (under Kitchenaid/Hobart) did make attempts to keep up with what Mrs. Modern American Housewife wanted in range or cooker. So am guessing the item linked above was part of "giving them what they want" so to speak. |

Am of the opinion that Chambers ranges/ovens of old were not that much removed from AGA type ranges. That is if one's meals tended towards roasts, stews, and baked goods then things were fine.
Also wondered for years why many British kitchens had those add on broilers. Well they would have to wouldn't they as AGA type ranges don't do broiling. So if you wanted kippers..... |

Far to often for many CL sellers people not local contact them to purchase an item on offer, but for various reasons never close the deal. Even a local offer does not always equate to a done deal.
Hence you see many listings now as "cash only", "no shipping", and "if the ad is still up, it is still available"... Don't recall seeing "Serious Buyers Please" in first advert either. But may have missed things; however if that wording is new it does give some indication the previous deal (if there was one) proved problematic at best and a time waster at worst. |
