Cheap, simple, bulletproof, and LOUD; this thing would also be an excellent
candidate for inclusion in an abandon ship kit or as a permanent fixture on
the dinghy.

Yeah, and I think I get a few extra "HornBlowers" as soon as our marine store restocks them.
Would like to keep one in the car, on the bike and the dinghy.
We have a street here near the marina that is owned by Canada Geese. They don't just think they own it - they know and demonstrate so. They just ever so slowly march down or across the pavement and stop all traffic. Really want to have one of these horns
around next time and see if I can scare the bejeesus out of them?

Speaking of Magic Chef......
If anyone knows how a Magic Chef four burner stove with integral oven above
can be moved out, I would be very pleased to hear.
I have removed four screws from the stainless edge strips for the stove and
this allows the unit to move about a half inch. I cannot figure what else is
holding it.
My objective is to remove it so I can inspect and change the propane
connection at the back. (Part of a complete replacement of the propane
system.)
I do not have an instruction/installation diagram for the unit. It is about
21 years old.

My stove is not working these days. I can light the
pilot, and up until I tried to fix it last night, I
could turn the control knob all the way to "broil" and
the flame in the oven would come on for a brief time
then go back to pilot only. Methinks the control unit
up where the knob is attached is somehow messed up. I
tried clenaing all the crud out of the passages.

Dan,
Most likely it is the thermocouple, the little metal whatsis that is
directly in the pilot light flame with the wire attached. It is smaller than
a standard size thermocouple. Try a R/V place, they might have one.
Good luck,
