Thanks to all for the compliments folks, and no problem with your "itch James. We have all done it.
2 sources for knobs? That's great. I was a little concerned about that. I have no idea what the original ones were, so I'm not sure whick ones would be correct, wood or porcelain.
I have a funny feeling that this thing is chromed, or nickeled. It's so gunked up, and I believe that it may have a coat of green paint on it, but I'm not even sure about that.
As for the connection to the burners, I haven't really taken a good look at that part of it just yet. It isn't the same as the Griswolds that I've seen. I will be working on it tonight, or tomorrow night, and will know better then. It's out in the shop right now, with rust penetrant on all the assembly points. I'll be disassembling all of it before it goes in the electro. I don't want to take any chances with the brass parts. If there are any brass parts. Again, I can't tell with all the gunk. I'll keep everyone posted on what I find, and try to get pics of all the steps of the process.
I am concerned about cleaning the inside of the burners. How can you tell if there is anything in there that should come out. I don't want any of the holes to get clogged. Also, rebuilding the valves. What is involved with that?
Thanks for any additional info.
