Oven Parts.... Worth the Trouble?

I mentioned in another thread I had picked up a nice Kenmore glass top convection stove. The boards were fried, but the top works and the burner knobs work. Anyone know if it is worth the trouble to harvest the knobs and top and try to sell on ebay? Any idea how long I would have to hold on and advertise or would it just be better to push it off the trailer at the yard?

Know the oven model # for search engine hits.

You need patience, but you can make MTS on some things.

When I said knobs, I actually meant the controller the knob turns. looks like pushing it off the trailer might be the best move.

How fried is fried on the boards? A picture would be interesting. You would be surprised to find how simple some of the fixes are on some of those oven boards.

I've tried my lot with various knobs and controls, but didn't have much luck (they didn't sell after 2 months. If you list them and set them in a corner for a while that may be your best bet. With the scrap prices down so much it would definitely be worth trying to sell as much as possible for reuse.

Fried. There was black soot on both boards. I had wiped them with my thumb, but you can still se where they made contact. The smoked spots are pretty much center of both pictures....

I may try to sell the controls, we'll see...
