Shipmate stove repair

[Surprise 1]

40 year old Shipmate stove and oven. Oven will not stay lit looking for advice on replacement parts such as thermostat control and operating Manual. Understand the thermostat is from Robert Shaw controls. Thanks!

Probably the thermocouple which can be found fairly easily. First try tightening the thermocouple connection to the control valve (the red button on the stove top). This will often fix it.

Agreed, it's almost always the thermocouple... off the shelf part at any plumbing store
