I am sorry I can not give you an specific name and address in Beijing, but I will tell you how I managed to locate a seller for mine.
I asked a friend who has a restaurant to tell me about a store that will sell equipment to restaurants, and he gave me the address of one in Nanning. I went to them, and was surprised at the many "goodies" they had, I bought a two basket deep fryer (great for chips and fish) for 200 yuan, and a darn good electrical oven like the ones back home too. Asking price was 4600, got it for 3500. Also bought a hand mixer, a pressure cooker, a serrated knife to cut bread, etc.
Then I had a local carpenter built me a cabinet to install the oven and microwave, with a storage shelf below and another above them.
So, if can not find a place that sells ovens, look for a store that sells restaurant equipment, and see if they carry it.

Well, it looks like tonight we shall have "shrimp cooked in butter and garlic", so do bring white wine, please.
Actually, I have seen western ovens [gas] in some of the bigger department stores.
One Chinese brand also makes them [for export] and only very few Chinese people buy them as they do not roast nor bake. The brand name is Haier.
