I have a Chambers stove that was in my house when I bought it 12 years ago. It still works but does need some work on minor items like a loose handle. Best offer. White Must pick up.

this is in or around central austin

Doesn't it just make you want to go look at it? I used to be that way, people probably thought I was nuts, just calling and wanting to talk about their Chambers.

Fixed blueberry pancakes on the griddle this AM for the kids and grandkids. It WORKED. Crisco !!! Second panfull best. And the stuff I scraped off from the first panfull I just shoved back to fall in the grease catcher, and that worked too...v

Ms. V-

Hi. I'm here in Austin, too. I just bought a house with a Chambers Model B.

Is there a good place locally to get service and/or parts?

Welcome, Texas is well represented on this board. What type of work do you need done on your stove? I don't have any experience with a complete overhaul, but the board is a wonderful source for the manuals, parts, friends, pictures and suggestions. We'd love to see pictures of your stove. Is it propane or natural gas?

Hi Mark

Lori is a fount of information. I haven't heard of a repair place except in Houston. Someone mentioned someone around Dallas. I am afraid most of it is do it yourself...(not my bag) I am still trying to figure out how to get the temp. probe reattached to the back of the oven with some (to be located) clips. In this case, information is manna from heaven...v

The diastat clips are available at most appliance parts stores. They should be about a buck each. They just snap into the two holes in the rear of the oven, then clip the diastat tube into them. Replace them soon because the oven temperature will not be regulated correctly and you also run the chance of damaging the tube during cooking.

Thanks Sammy,
I just found the second hole, at first I thought there was only one. I did it by feel. I thought it was screws that went into the hole but now I feel it is clips. My husband said 'have him just mail you two' and now I don't like him tonight...v

Hi! Okay, let me try to post a photo of my stove:

It needs a little tender loving care, but I'm willing to work on it.

Assuming that you can see the image, does anyone have any ideas on what model it might be? Where do I look on the stove for the model number? You see, I haven't closed on the house yet, so I don't have unfettered access to the stove just yet.

Thanks,
Mark

Hmm. Not sure if that worked. Here's a link:
