I have a big old 6-burner Crown (model H3005702 845-242KG0E-10) natural

burners work just fine if lit with a match.

Crown has been out of business for decades now.

Does anyone know where to buy parts, or retro-fit parts? For instance,
I bet the same spark igniters were used on numerous makes and models of
stove, so there is likely something that will fit.

Hi Joe,

Do you still have this stove? Does it work? Would you be willing to part with it? Would your wife??

I'd be interested in anything you can tell me about keeping it working. My Mom's is a similar model. It should really be replaced, but we can't find anything that has the same features (two ovens large enough to fit her pans) and that fit in that spot in the kitchen.

I'd appreciate any hints or tricks!
