I have an old Kenmore electric stove c. 1940s, early 50s. The thing
looks cool and is built like a tank - white porcelain, double oven,
griddle. It works great, aside from one of the elements needing a
rewiring. Is there a market for an old stove like this? We're
remodeling the kitchen and the thing is too big and my wife wants a
modern stove.

Thanks for any insights.


Absolutely! And frigs too!

(for those who have never seen this show that I steal my handle from,
here's some insight)

Red...

If you don't need a new recliner, go to
http://www.solarbotics.com/resources/projects/
and scroll down to "Solarbotics Oven Timer Unit Modification".

The little gearbox in the electromechanical oven clock just needs a pager
motor with the eccentric weight removed. Then the low voltage motor
produces a lot of torque.

The other pages on that website have plans for several mini solar robots you
can make with it. They will take up less room than the oven in your
basement. Kids like them better too.

Only thing is, I haven't seen that type of gearbox in pre-1960 ovens, but
I've only looked into a few ovens that old.
