I purposely left the name "Frigidare" on picture. I thought I could throw you guys off.

I did notice the Frgidare logo in picture #3.
The style reminds me of the old Dwyer Kitchen units I'd see in Efficiency and Comm. Offfice Kitchenette settings in the 1970's.

I will be honest with you, this is the first time I have seen this type of cooktop or oven. The lady that owns the house is a client of mine. She wants me to demo this house and build her a new house. Take a guess what I'm keeping!

Now that I didn't know![greesegun]

I do know that GM uses Delco logo on all [most] of there parts.

Mario,

I assume you are refering to the Dwyer Kitchen-ette. My parents lived on St. Simons Island, Ga. and when building back in the 70's the Guest Apartment had a Dwyer installed. It's still working beautifully today, by the new owners.

Frigidaire belong to General Motors for many years. I too worked in a Frigidaire plant (in Dayton Ohio) when I first got out of the military in 1966. Spent most of my time there on the air conditioner line. That summer the temp in the factory was somewhere around 130 degrees f. Lots of people passing out. Seemed ironic to be making air conditioners under those conditions. It was a good paying job, $4.50 per hour plus full benefits; my daughter's birth was paid for in full, even though my wife was pregnant when I started working there.
