Or, perhaps, a wrench and screwdriver. Good point. I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!

John B some gas slide in style ovens have a draw in the bottom under the oven door i wonder if you remove the door the oven would "drop in" and a small amount of cabinet trim could match up the bottom gap?
the drop in style most likely has a pedestal that some of the weight is distributed on. if you can lift the stove out of the spot slightly to take a look you might get a better feel for what you need to do to get it to work. measure the counter height to make sure the final height can be achieved with standard products...
also if this is an apartment, sometime land lords will deduct the improvements from the rent. talk to them about this...i would think you could neatly cut the bottom part of the cabinet down to accommodate a modern appliance. john
Check out this place.
Thanks. I'll keep it in mind.

OK, that's what mine is. It is a drop-in with a flange on the sides of the top that lays on the countertop and is covered by the lift up range top. I had to build a base for it since it doesn't have a leg to stand on. Try Sears.

Here are 30" drop-ins at Sears
He needs gas, no hookup for electric.
Every one of those drop in ranges is electric. I looked at all three pages, carefully. I need a gas range. Thanks.

Sorry about that. I see Sears doesn't sell gas range/ovens anymore.
Ummm....the sawzall was for the kickplate on the cabinet
We have the Maytag MGS5770 as seen in Vox's link. It rests on top of the counter and has feet at the bottom. Main drawback for you ( I believe) would be the bottom drawer if you want to keep your kickboard. H
Sounds like a 1960s kitchen. A counter-height-opening wall oven in a tall cabinet, with a drop-in cooktop in the counter right next to it, were quite common. Pretty good odds the thing is that lovely 2-tone brown 'coppertone' color. Around the time the appliances crap out, the Missus usually decides entire kitchen needs a gut job, and another set of solid maple cherry-finish cabinets hits the landfill, replaced by chipboard junk. Plug-n-run replacement appliances in those formats are probably getting quite hard to find.
aem sends...
We have a GE "gas on glass" unit. It is the 5 burner 36" model but they make a 30" unit as well.
Nope.
Yeah. 1965. I was there. The replacement would be easy if the relatives who own the place would "see the light" and pop for the electrical upgrade necessary to install an electric oven. Drop-in range is easily found in electric. Nice guess on the colors, but this place was done in white...commensurate with an apartment decor. The house I grew up in was abundant with coppertone, though....electric cooktop (Mom still uses it), blower top(yep, still there), refrig, electric oven, and dishwasher gone decades ago. Oh, yeah, the pulls on the ash cabinets are still there, in coppertone. The legs on our formica kitchen table were coppertone...long gone. Mom still uses copper-bottom pots, too. Mom loved coppertone, and she helped design the house my Dad built in the 1950s. Dad, bless him, is my chief opponent in this oven selection. Nothing like a good old family brouhaha. Keeps the blood moving.

Tell me more. Is it GAS? Can you suggest a model number? Thanks.

After seeing some later posts, I realize that what we have is not what you are looking for. It is gas but is only the top burners, not the cooktop/oven combo.
Thanks for trying.

cooktop/oven
Most gas ranges that need electgricity run off a standard 1`5A outlet. The juice is needed for the electronic ignition, clock, timers, oven light.
Traditional Jewish law prevents labor on the Sabbath and that includes starting a fire. Sabbath mode keeps the oven on a very low flame so you are technically not starting a fire, merely adjusting it. Kosher kitchens and rules are very interesting.
