I have found a whole treasure trove of appliance porn: VintageStoves.com. The guy behind this site is Stevan Thomas and he's located in Hutchinson, Kansas. Their work isn't cheap -- this 1952 Magic Chef is $15,000. But the results are breathtaking. They take old stoves and completely re-do them. The chrome gleams, the lights light, the insides glistens. My personal favorite is this copper Chambers. Yum.
Pictured above is a 1952 O'Keefe & Merritt "Aristocrat" - Model 5850-R. I'd take that over a new Viking any day of the week.
