It is getting late and I need to stop surfing and call it a night. But before I do, this website is a must to note. You can download the complete 1961 owners manual and 1960 Tech-Talk manual here.

This blog began as a gathering spot for discussion and images pertaining to vintage television remotes - what we once called the clicker. We are now focusing on 1950s and 1960s home-tech and whatever else comes to mind. From the TV remote and movie projector to Toast-R-Oven and the electric blanket. Please join in posting!

Training the next generation in style
Remember when your doorbell button welcomed you to an ‘all electric home’? This Edison Electric ad from 1965 demonstrates the move to electricity and in the process delivers a ‘training the next generation’ of homemakers message.
“Flameless Electric Cooking is a wonderful way to start your family toward the joy of total electric living. With a modern electric range, your kitchen keeps cool. Walls, cabinets and curtains stay clean longer. And, of course, only electric ovens have the exclusive new improvements that make then so easy to keep clean.”
Remember ‘You Live Better Electrically’ and in the process make certain your daughter starts cooking early.
Oh – of course they used the coolest electric range ever made – Frigidaire’s Flair!
One more
Surfing for additional images, I found this site with images of the 1962 brochure. Not only does it have a space-age feel to it, the instruction booklet outlines the 'control panel' and as you can see below - it rivals the control panel in John Glenn's Friendship 7 capsule.
And the roast pictured in the booklet would make even Mary Margret McBride proud. It isn't some ultra-trimmed standing rib roast that you find today - this roast is well marbled AND has a fat-cap.
Clearly
OK, clearly I obsess about the Frigidaire Flair stove as much as the Zenith Space Commander clicker : )
Remember Frigidaire was a division of GM - check out this page.
Searching for more information on the unit, I discovered that I am not the only one that appreciates the Flair.
