New parlor stove
Wanted to share my new stove - came from Jamestown NY and hasn't been used since atleast 1951 - has been in an attic. I would love to get it restored and put in service at my house - wondering who restores gas stoves?
Please share your thoughts!
Jim
P.s. I do have the doors, grates and lava rock - removed them as I was blowing out the stove with air

Probably many of the coal fired cook stove restorers have experience with gas as well.

U, if'n it was me, I hook up a barbecue tank & try & light the old girl-- BUT, first I'd remove the flame ring & tap her a few times upside down--I'm bettin you'd know exactly where ya stand gas wise. You're off to a great start with cleanin the old girl up!! She sure is purty!!! WHOOPS--forgot to mention, outside would be best for all that testing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

There ya go--ya know, for $1800 I'd find some more info on doin myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's pretty basic with a gas stove. I already told ya the most important--take that ring out & gently tap it to clear gas holes--then just some good old elbow grease should do the rest--course I don't have $1800 layin around!!
My only issue is that I have no time to do it myself. Currently working 12-14 hr days, 7 days a week and am dead to the world lol.freetown fred wrote: ↑Wed.

In a perfect world I would have some hesitations about how the top comes apart, what paint to use, and bringing it up to code.
Not really that I am incapable but I don't want to make a mistake as I can't exactly go find more parts for these ole ladies if something happens that shouldnt.

Gotcha U--that nickle's comin around real nice. Probably stupid to ask but I'm sure hoping you've checked other places then that $1800 deal. Probably not a lot of options though. You'll be real proud of her when ya get her done!!!
Fred - it seems that not many places deal with gas stoves. Most are coal and/or wood. Believe it or not, from my research, this guy is the go to for gas. I'm am open to other suggestions though of you know of any.freetown fred wrote: ↑Thu. Oct. 29, 2020 8:26 amGotcha U--that nickle's comin around real nice.
