So I am making a game plan to refurbish my Princess stove and have located some replacement burners and was wondering if there is any functionality difference between any of them or just use what fits and you're good to go?
The first two pictures are my current burners and the last two are the ones available to me to get from Trailertrasher. He did tell me he has 4 more the same style just like the one in my first picture
Just wanted a little info and input as I was collecting the pieces to clean her up and get her looking good again.

They have to be an exact size. Why not try to clean up the ones you have? They should pretty easily and cooking on them will bring them back to that 'used' look...

I'm not trying to go for shiny, but the two flat ones I have both look melted and deformed, I would just like to have 3 matching ones that don't look like they have been through two world wars.

You may have already replaced them but I thought I'd show and tell you what we did. I realize the top pieces aren't in too bad of shape but it you look close you'll see that the bottom burner sections were pretty rusty.  0101171905 by Corvett crzy, on Flickr So my husband took them to work and blasted them, probably with walnut shells or something and they looked great!! They were silver and not rusted at all. They sat in our basement that way for at least a couple years. Then.... I started working on the stove top. I was worried that they would start to rust (even thought they hadn't rusted at all) so I decided to paint them with high temp paint. I thought worse case it would burn off. Anyway after my recent paint fail, most likely due to a dirty surface, I decided they needed to be cleaned first and dried very quickly to get them dry before they started to rust. Hhhmmm, how do I do that.....oh I know put them in the oven. So I washed them, with water, and stuck them in the oven. Fast forward, go to take them out, they are rusted, brown and crappy looking. DO NOT PUT WATER on them EVER. So I ended up wiping them down with acetone, getting at least the loose particles off and painting them with the high temp (with rust stop rustoleum). They look good, but they probably would have been fine if I had left them alone after the blasting. I've been told that using them will burn off rust. Anyway here they are with high heat paint.
