A very early '60s Belling Classic is currently on kitchen duty, but I've some thought of replacing it by a mid-'50s GEC that's just across the room. The two resident 1930s Revo cookers - one that suffered element failure in the first house we rented back in 1980-1, and the larger model that we enquired about and gave a home to after seeing it outside a front door waiting to be scrapped a year or two later - are firmly in retirement. At least for now...
