I wanted to extend public thanks to Ralph chachp for a mixer he gifted to me this week!
It's a very pristine Sunbeam Power Plus, in wonderful condition and very complete. It has both its bowls, its beaters, the unobtainium dough hooks, along with the slicer/shredder and meat grinder accessories.
Ralph, bless him, sent this to me for the cost of shipping, which wasn't even as much as he thought it was going to be. I am over and whelmed. Verklempt, in fact.
I was able to find an instruction manual for it on Etsy, which contained some information I'd forgotten from back in the day when Shirley Jones was hawking these beauties - the Almond version (which was not as expensive as this chrome model) was $179.00. At the time, you could have had a KitchenAid K-45A for that! No wonder the Power Plus didn't hang around but a few years.
Ralph, thank you very much indeed! I'm copying one of Ralph's photos here, from when he first offered the machine on the list. Later, there will be some of it in my own kitchen.
P.S.: If anyone thinks that's just a nice later-model Mixmaster, think again. It's about twice the size of the regular Mixmaster - the large bowl holds four quarts. The thing is HUGE.
