Tappan DeLuxe 40-1/4" "Grand Slam", white. Partially restored.

$7,800.00

Yet another beautiful, fun Tappan DeLuxe, the type which we coined years ago as “Madam LaRue” (from the pinball machine mentioned in the song “Big Joe and Phantom 309” by Tommy Faile, performed so darn well by Tom Waits). (CLICK HERE TO LISTEN).

Multiple dazzling lites in the backsplash, plus glowing amber dial bezels for each burner, all recalling this one’s namesake “Grand Slam” 1950’s pinball machine. (CLICK HERE TO SEE IT)

Auto-igniting oven safety system. Rechargeable desiccant crisper drawer. Backsplash display has a clock face in very nice condition. Really great oven chrome.

“Grand Slam” has been partially restored and is priced accordingly (a full restoration would add $3000). All mechanical functions work perfectly except the clock (and it’s auto oven on/off function) and the 30 minute timer. The backsplash chrome is original though in very good shape. The backsplash clock face paint is original and has a few spots, but it’s plastic surface has been polished and it’s dials have been restored. The burner dials have been restored. The oven and broiler handle badges have been restored (stripped, repainted and polished), although the broiler’s badge has visible fissures. The original oven chrome is in unusually good shape. Does not have the burner covers/serving trays. There are a few porcelain nicks in the photos, but they will all be touched up.

Absolutely beautiful, practical, economical and fun. Civilization advances, but since the Tappan DeLuxe, stoves just continue to devolve.

DO NOT CLICK TO PURCHASE any stove. Email/call us to discuss, but before you do so, YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING:

The stoves you are about to look at HAVE NOT YET BEEN SERVICED. IE: they are in the same condition as when we pulled them out of a house (There are a few exceptions). While we only acquire stoves that we determine are in good condition, you must understand that they have been used for 60+ years and most likely have never been serviced.

We will schedule your stove for service once we have secured a 50% non-refundable purchase commitment. Prices shown includes all original standard parts and full mechanical servicing, with minor repairs (IE, a long list of work that we know any stove will require). (Clocks/timers cannot be repaired). Also included is full exterior cleaning and light interior cleaning.

Extra Costs: Be aware that “Major repairs” may be required, usually to replace a bad thermostat or oven safety valve, or repair broiler lift mechanisms, rotisserie motors, etc., each requiring extra work and extra cost). It is impossible to know if your stove requires any major repairs until we encounter them while doing our work. We highly recommend asking us about “preemptively” replacing/repairing thermostats or other vital components in order to extend the service life of your stove.

Full interior cleaning, delivery, and installation available at extra cost. Restoration of chrome, enamel, etc. is NOT included and is generally NOT available.

Many of our stoves have “match-lit” ovens, IE, the oven must be lit with a match/hand-held sparker, etc. anytime it is used. Conversion to an auto-lighting oven safety system, utilizing a thermocouple safety valve with standing pilot, can be done for around $950/oven on most stoves.

If you or your shipper are picking up a stove: We charge to expertly load or assist loading your vehicle ($250 for single oven stoves, $500 for double oven stoves over 40”), assuring a fast, safe load without injury to body, stove, or vehicle. If you do not want us to assist/load, we roll your stove to the street, rain or shine, and remove it from our rolling platform. We provide no advice, tools, padding, boxes, etc. Either way, you should bring at least two 16' ratchet straps with 1"-2" webbing, packing material, packing blankets, 2-3 storage bins to hold parts. If you use/keep our rolling platform to load your stove into your vehicle, the charge is $50
