No Longer Selling My Vintage Oven - Anyone Interested?

Was thinking about putting this in Open Classifieds, but it probably belongs here more. 

Here's the deal, this thing came with the house and it works. I think it's cool, but it freaks my fiancee out to the point she will not cook on it. (She actually did use the stovetop last night, but I was quite surprised.) So basically she said it has to go before we get married and she moves in (August). So step one before I go buy a new one, I need to get rid of this one. Maybe one of you all would be interested?

Here's what I know:

-60's era 

-Double Oven

-Pull-out Stovetop

-Storage underneath

-Left oven door spring is weak, so it doesn't like to stay open. 

-Stovetop light flickers (fluorescent) 

-Inner oven light doesn't come on (probably just a bulb)

My previous tenant loved it, and said overall it worked great. I like it, but it's gotta go, the sooner the better. I had it posted up on CL and FB Marketplace @$599, but I am extremely open to negotiation. Make me an offer!

Oh man that is awesome.  Glws, hope it finds a good home.  

That pull-out stove is awesome. I've never seen anything like that before.   I can see what it didn't take off, but still... very cool.  GLWS!

I hadn't seen anything like it before either! It is super cool. Ovens at a height that you don't have to crouch is nice, stovetop slides away, takes up less space, cool stuff.

When I looked into it, there seems to be a decent amount of these models around, varying prices. You know you want it... ;)

Mid Century Modern! 

As an engineer, I take issue with their so called 'infinite heat' marketing ploy. 

Looks awesome. Do you live near hipsters? Because if you do, you don't need any 'good luck with sale' because that thing would sell itself in hipstervillage.

Holy Hell thats Awesome. 

That is some duper cool vintage goodness right there. Only thing that would up the awesomeness would be if it were avocado green. Hope it finds a good home!

My grandparents had that exact same unit.  Pretty nifty!

I’ll be damned.  My grandparents had the exact same thing in the single.

Do you mind if I share this to the Mid Century Modern Kitsch Facebook group?

By all means, share away!

Am I the only one who looks at that and sees a kick azz powder coating oven?

Storage cabinets underneath for your supplies!

I assume it also comes with a perpetual-motion-powered convection fan

Nah, it's built with Roswell alien technology, so it taps vacuum energy to run the burners.

Seems kind of small for that though...

Thanks, it's been shared. 

Super cool! We have a wall oven in our kitchen of similar vintage, if not maybe a decade older even, that I will never get rid even if/when we ultimately get around to renovating it. Still have yet to actually use it, but it's always one of the first things people comment on seeing our house for the first time.

Wait - you don't use your oven?

Do you have another oven?

I can picture a girl in a cone bra and a nice housedress with apron showing that thing off in the house of the future at some worlds fair in about 1955.

Edit:  I just noticed the Custom Deluxe emblem, which is stuck to the Frigidaire oven, which was owned by General Motors.  I would swear the script is the same as on a Chevrolet Custom Deluxe truck from the mid 60's, but I can find no photographic evidence.

My dad had the avocado green fridge forever.  

It had the block letters GM next to the Fridgedair name - always looked cool.

If you're not doing small stuff, it'd work well, but then again, so would a toaster oven.

Yea, there's another oven/stove of probably 80s vintage that we use. The house itself dates to the mid 1800s, so the kitchen has been through who knows how many configurations, with the latest appearing to come some time during the 80s or early 90s. I figure the wall oven was left over from a prior reviwion.

I texted my sister, who's really into 50s/60s decor, pyrex, that kinda stuff, that I found someone with a Frigidaire Flair for sale.

She texted back "OMG the Holy Grail!"

I think it will sell.
