WOW!
That's my dream kitchen! That's sad that nobody got to enjoy it, but hopefully whoever buys it will take good care of it!!!

I'd love that kitchen, or any similar one. I hope some MCM fan really does get it, and doesn't gak it out with some stainless steel Tuscan black granite nightmare. Put new kitchens in houses that NEED them, not this house.

Holy time capsule, Batman! My grandparents had a GE cooktop and oven just like that but theirs were stainless steel. It would be a travesty if someone were to gut that kitchen and "update" it. The people who bought my grandparents' house did just that--Blech!!!
Bad news, really bad news
This is an old thread on automaticwasher.org, I knew about it, but I didn't have the heart to bring it up. I believe the rocket scientist that demoed it got tons of hate emails though.

I have an idea...
Lets make a new law....Anyone committing an atrocity like tearing out that kitchen should be sent to the chair!!! Virginia still has theirs hooked up!!!!Seriously, it is really stupid to tear this out and then scream about conservation!

Not only "chair" them-but before they get the chair-their NEW kitchen is ripped out and all of it is fed to the Leach RL trash truck--Anyone volunteering to pull the levers?I WOULD LOVE TOO!And he gets to WATCH as his NEW kitchen is crushed to particleboard bits before his eyes!Then the old is put back.
I agree with both of you, kenkart & tolivac, and I don't even know how to word my disgust. Okay, I know old isn't for everyone, but when you get someone who's hot to go for MCM and all it's glory, then proceeds to total out the kitchen and baths of flawless examples, for those sucky black granite counters, IKEA cabinets, stainless faced garbage appliances, etc.... and glass tile a 1959 bath, cram in a fiberglass jacuzzi, a giant bowl on top of yet another chunk o' black granite, then knock down bedroom walls to expand the living space---you got so damn much money to do that, BUILD A NEW HOUSE TO YOUR IDEA OF MCM.
The previous owners of my house did similar things.
Thet removerd all of the chandeliers, put up new walls, painted beautiful natural woodword white, (including the brass switchplates, hinges, etc. THey did that "1940s archway thing" here, took out old wall wainscot, etc....... the kitchen was a bad mix of pieces of 1920, 30, 40 and a hint of 1950. There was nothing left to save. The one thing totally salvageable was the main staircase.....totally brought back.
So much has been done to undo damage. I often wondered why they didn't just buy a different style house rather than chop up this one.
SAme thing w/ that "classic kitchen". You might not install one, but, dear Lord... bask in what was left there!

Maybe the orig dishwasher failed-so he replaced it with the ugly SS one-least he could have tried to get one with a panel that matched the rest of the kitchen.But the owner is a TOTAL idiot!!He WRECKED the value of that building.If I walked into a new renovation place would just spin one my heels and walk back out.Realtors should realize NOT EVERYONE wants a new renovated place.Feel the OLDER kitchen and bathroom furnishings have more value to me than new ones.At my workplace-it used to ahve a GE kitchen with the metal cabinets and pushbutton lighted stove.Now it has the Hidious cabinets-they wouldn't be so bad if they weren't covered in ugly grey formica-and the doors aren't hung straight-and a SS Magic Chef stove.Liked what was here better.And the money spent on the kitchen should have been spent on parts and test gear.

An old saying
I've heard all my life...."stupidity abounds.". This right here is a prime example of it. If Captain Intelligent planned on re-doing a kitchen, why in the world didn't he purchase a home that actually needed renovations? Just makes me shake my head in amazement....what I wouldn't give to find a house completely untouched like that!
