Attention Mixer Collectors!

[bajaespuma]

A Vintage Westinghouse mixer with attachments is available in Indiana. I've never seen one of these before and it looks interesting:

Neat! I actually have one like that with the 'jug' style juice that also serves as a pitcher. The one in the ad, though, does not have the correct large bowl. The one shown is for a Sunbeam model 3,5,7 or 9...

Juicer Reamer

Have any of you that have this mixer ever used the juicer? The deep ridges make me wonder how effective of a juicer is it?
If you are juicing a large quanitity of fruit, how easy is it to remove and replace the juicer bowl? Does it get messy? What speed setting is recommended?

Does anyone have the food grinder-chopper and the speed reduction unit?

To the best of my memory...

Ricky never compalined about his OJ.

Do you remember...

the I Love Lucy episode, where Lucy is juicing her oranges using said mixer and Mrs Trumbull walks into the kitchen and startles Lucy??

It wasn't Mrs Trumbull...

Mrs Trumbull was not introduced as a character until the first episode after Little Ricky was born. The neighbor you are thinking of was Lucy's other neighbor Mrs Lewis, played by Lucy's first choice to play Ethel Mertz...Bea Benaderet. This was an early season one episode where Mrs. Lewis asks Lucy to help her snag Mr. Ritter the grocery man whom Mrs. Lewis is in love with. Of course this being I Love Lucy Mr. Ritter ends up thinking Lucy is in love with him instead. It is interesting to note that Fred and Ethel are no where to be seen in this episode at all.....
