"We really want to keep this kitchen as it is." That is such a refreshing thing to hear!
You may need to keep an eye out on ebay for a new sensitemp sensor. I agree that it looks like that cook top was hardly used. The original owner must have been a fastidious housekeeper!
Very cool intercom system. Does it still work? It looks like there's a chance it could be solid state.
If the dishwasher still works, you should go buy some Powerball tickets. | ||

Best thing to do is have the sensi temp switch changed to a infinite heat control, easy and inexpensive to do, the sensi temp was nice when it worked unfortunately it was trouble prone, that is a beautiful kitchen! | ||

Thank you. We are planning on doing something similar with the refrigerator as well. | ||

Lovely Kitchen!!!!!Fix it up and USE it!!!!Like that NuTone intercom unit.You may have to use contact cleaner on the switches and see if that will help.The intercom looks like its in new condition! | ||

Thank you. I'm quite pleased with how the dishwasher turned out. As for the sensi temp issue, I'm going to try the infinite switch route with the hopes that I can convert it back if I ever do find a sensor. | ||

Regarding the sensitivity of the Nutone radio/intercom, it could be an issue with the B+ voltage being low due to an ageing selenium rectifier which can be replaced with a simple 1N4007 silicon diode and a dropping resistor. In an almost always on system like an intercom, a selenium wouldn't fare well. The output of the rectifier should be somewhere around 130-145 volts, much lower than that and the radio won't have all the reception and loudness it should. A Failing filter cap could have an effect on the B+ too, but you would likely hear quite a bit of hum as well. If those are both in order, then you can try substituting tubes.

Thank you for the tip on intercom. I will look at those areas first. | ||
