Reply to comment by garugaga in 1956 Frigidaire Range by dezualy

I have a 56 Frigidaire imperial, this ones big brother. The oven is built and insulated just like a modern electric stove. It seems to cycle less and cook more evenly than the newer POS it replaced.

It’s probably insulated with asbestos. Too bad about the cancer, because that stuff is amazing.

Frigidaire used fiberglass/mineral wool. They didn’t skimp on it either. The wiring is all asbestos though. Great stuff. Doesn’t burn and short out. I don’t worry about the wiring it’s encased in a sealer.
