I liked the control box at the back. This is the first one I have seen with the thermal unit. I have seen an earlier one with the control pod at the center front with the dial for the Supermatic Unit.

Tom,

I don't think the control box is attached to the cooktop, it appears that it can be located wherever the owner finds it works best.  I guess this would be Hotpoint's version of GE's remote control panel.

I have only seen pictures in magazine ads and it was always placed between the two 6 inch units at the back so that was all I was basing my comments on. I guess I did not see the contrast between the cooktop and the counter top. I remember that TOL Frigidaire cooktop with the remote panel that was shown either on the front of the cabinet in front or above and behind.

I remember seeing pictures of Hotpoint's drop in range with the twin control pods in the back corners; one for the surface units and the other for the clock and oven and the surface units placed with the airplane arrangement of the two 6 inch units front to back in the center and the two 8 inchers to either side. I'll bet my mom would have placed plastic wrap over the tower or towers near skillets involved in a frying operation.

Your mother sounds like a wise woman to protect such a thing from getting ruined.

Sounds like the kind of person a spatter shield was designed for.

Thank you

Into the early 2000s, mom's friends used to ask where she found new appliances in coppertone. They were installed in 1966 when the house was built but still looked brand new.

Almost like mine

But mine is all push button control and the control panel is mounted centrally on the back center of the cooktop. 1962 model and it works perfectly everyday.

I wonder if maybe there were two different mounting options for the control.
