Wow; I probably need to go up to Minne and check out the sales! That's a beauty for only $6! You would probably scream if you saw what Texas garage/estate sales have...overpriced crap is the only way to describe it. Sad. Like I've said many times, people were/are capital C-H-E-A-P here, which, after desperate attempts, explains why I haven't been able to find a single Frigidaire 1-18...
I looked at the Yahoo "estatesale1" album and the "First BD Whirlpool of the day" looked near-mint inside and out. Wonderful, as well as that '67 Kenmore 70! I would have taken both of 'em!

Its not easy to find a Vita Mix
Robert and I drove 200 miles across Iowa to find a Vita Mix and the people in the town of Casey were shocked we made it thru Des Moines in one piece becuase it is SOOOOO CROWDED THERE! A Direct Quote. Robert didn't have the heart to tell them we came from the Mighty Prarie City of Minneapolis!!

You're sidewinding now!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now you and Jon both have collections of Vita-Mix machines - only 78 more to go and you'll catch up!
Very cool find - I've been waiting for one to pop up at a sale...

I noticed this machine has no handles on the base; I think it's more attractive without them anyway considering the previous base-handles made it look UGLY in my opinion...
Handles on Vita-Mix motor base
In looking at the picture you see the screws for mounting the handles.Did that model have handles-or could the former owner removed them. I do like the look better W/O the handles.Plus takes up less space on a crowded counter.The machine is in like new condition-like it was never used.So far I have only run into two Vita Mix machines at yard sales. Both 3600.The only one that I knew fo that had all of the machines was Vita-Mix itself.They have a museam of their previous mixers and products.It is at their factory location.(old main plant)-least what their rep told me.That would be quite an accomplishment to have an example of each machine they built.
Oh yea-the new format is GREAT!

I've caught the vision too!
That is a beauty Robert. I got a Vita Mix 3600 about a week ago on Ebay. After enjoying all the treats Jon and Greg made for us I had to have one. Also got some of the Whole Nectar protien mix and have made lots of smoothies. I really like the design of the Vita Mix you found. Terry

Yay for Vita-Mix
Hi Terry, yes now that Jon has turned me onto the new vintage Vita-Mix craze I've been having fruit smoothies every morning. An apple, orange, grapes, strawberries, carrot, yogurt etc all mixed together into a cool drink tastes much better than I ever would have imagined. Much healthier than bacon in the morning

classic 3600 owner here!
Mango, strawberries, a dash of milk, vanilla and ice - wonderful summer drink and a great breakfast in the morning when Whole Nectar protein powder is added. Have you tried it? It's great, I have it in my smoothie in the morning and I'm not hungry again until late afternoon. Check out the website - they have some great recipes too!
I think Jon (jetcone) should be on salary from Vita-Mix! He's a great evangelist!!

I'll second that one Greg! Jon should be on the Vita Mix pay-roll. I like to use 1 fresh peach, a scoop, a good tablespoon of peach yogurt,splash of milk, 2 large ice cubes and a drop of almond extract, 2-3 tablespoons Whole Nectar. enjoy Terry
No need to peel the peach, just wash and remove pit!

Ooooooh, almond extract...that sounds good! Have you tried mint extract? I've thought about it but need a recipe to try it in!
I use the mint in my Choco-banana smoothie-milkshakes I fix for breakfast.If you use ripe bananas-sweetened coca isn't necessary.No need for the sugar.That Whole Nectar shown in Gansky's link sounds good.-and sounds really good for you!
The almond really is good Greg, seems to compliment the peach very nicely. Never thought of mint but will have to give that one a try sometime. The Whole Nectar is really great, gives the smoothie a nice substance that seems to stay with me through out the morning.

Six Bucks?!?!
The cheapest VitaMix I've seen was $90 at a flea market. Wow, some people have all the luck! I paid $1 for my circa '67 Waring--nowhere near the same power as a VitaMix, but it does whip up those banana-mint smoothies that got me through the long hot summer.
