John are those the 3-heat type of element controls on the top rings, or are they the more recent Simmer-stat type?.
Does that stove actually have a oven below it, as I can only see the 4 controls for the rings?.
We still have a couple of recepts built into our stoves here, just a throwback I guess to the days, like above, when a kitchen had 1 or 2 recepts.
Rob, that's quite right about the grounding of the rings outer sheath, however using a kettle with the cord draped over a hot element can render a good cord useless.
Element of surprise I suppose you could call it.
