Can anybody point me in a good direction for converting a tappan range
(model unknown, nameplate is ruined) to propane?

All the sites google comes up with are garbage.

My regulator is rated NG or propane, it says so. I can replace the
orifices in the top burners easily. They're some brass piece that threads
on. I've not peeked in the oven section yet.

Where do you buy your propane? Have them come out to look at the stove
and ask them for sourcing on orifices.

AFAIK, the orifice is the only change, though the burners have to be
optimized for correct flame color/burn. When I put the old Caddie
(Deville, with separate oven/broiler and chromed cast iron griddle
top) stove in my last house, it was already set up for propane. There
was no other metering on it and the gas came from a shutoff on the
wall. Burn adjustments were simple sheetmetal plates for ducting air
into the burner air intake.

Mine was a white one set up like the blue one on the left, with the
glass shelf, clock, and gaudy aluminum/chrome goodies. Great old
stove. I miss it now that I'm on a ceramic cooktop, though the
'lectric stove is a bit cleaner.

Looking at this site, I see that there is a propane regulator
available. I may have missed seeing the one on my old Caddie.
There's your source, though.

G'luck!
