Looks like they are ashamed to show the ovens, maybe. |

Never saw this classy dame before. Looking 'minty' in Cincinnati! Is this showroom-new?

This is in great condition, the main reason why is it actually had electronic Ignition so there is no corrosion damage in the ovens and under the Cook-Top from constant burning pilots.
While it is true that the build quality was not the best of Roper ranges I would still rate it equal to the quality of a Tappan Hi-Oven gas range. I would love to have this excellent condition rare EI gas range for the museum. I remember when Sears started Gas ranges built Roper with EI around 1970, most people never gave the idea a 2nd look as NG was still so cheap, now no one in their right mind would want a gas range in their kitchen with a bunch of little fires burning all the time, LOL.

Looks like a similar range, albeit possibly smaller, featured in this 1960s RCA Whirlpool booklet.
