That is adorable! Kelly, you have been a Mixmaster fan for a long time - do you still have one? What is your favorite model?
Wasn't that a great dishwasher too? I wanted that model in the worst way when we replaced our Kenmore Roto-Rack in 1981, but we had to have a portable and that model wasn't available.
Great thread idea too, it's back to the picture box for me!

Update
Kati is 25, radiant and ready to begin internship in Radiology.
I put myself through college working for Sunbeam. The 10/11 is the quietest, the 12 is simply the best mixer ever made, the MM series has a stunning design and after 1974 it was a downward plunge. I currently have a white model 12.
The Maytag dishwasher was number 3 in a series of 11. I still have a Maytag and used a Kitchenaid Superba, just like Gadget Gary's for 2 years in the 90's.
Many houses and many moves, working for Hotel and Food Manufactures.

Kelly, how are the after 1974 "modern" mixmasters different from the pre-1974 ones? I know that was about the time they starting doing that dough hook thing and so forth. When I say "modern" I'm referring to the latter day ones with the straight, rather than curved, handle.
I do know the subtle differences in the logo and a few other things, but are they of different makeup inside?

I have a model 10 I was really enjoying using, but it got that issue where it will only run on high. Eventually here I'm going to send it off to that guy in Canada that overhauls them.
Change
The easy answer first. Scott, remove the Mixfinder dial and be sure to keep the washers in place on the dial. Remove the condenser, large waxy tube thing on the bottom of the speed switch. Replace the dial and the mixer will most likely be fine. You can source a new condensor if you are a purist, but the mixer will work fine with out it. Other more serious options are new switch or replace the governor tension rod. Remember with the vintage Sunbeam, lubricate, lubricate, lubricate. You will end up with a screamer if you don't.
Sunbeam began to reduce the quality of materials in gears, spindles, windings, housing, cords etc, until the weight of the finished mixmaster was 4 pounds less. The switches were under engineered for the higher wattage motor and stress of heavy dough and bread. The gears stripped, they were loud and vibrated, the turntables came loose from the spindle and those were the main complaints. In 1992, Sunbeam, Australia began making the new motor and design. It is nearly silent, very powerful and an excellent mixer except it is laden with push this and pull then to get the mixer up and down from the bowl. Most won't come off the stand and the newest has such a flimsy handle it will break if you try to use the mixer portably. They have an internal fuse, integrated into the swith so if it gets to hot or burdened, the switch goes and you are mixerless. That said, the Australian innovations to Sunbeam may give it a chance as survival.
Nothing ever mixed and creamed like Sunbeam BowlFit beathers. The finished products have a much finer and lighter texture than the more crude paddles used in mixers with planetary action.

Thanks for the tips and info Kelly, I will check that out on the 10. I am a good boy and keep the mixer oiled as directed. 
I think a lot of people didn't know they were supposed to do that.

You've got me all excited saying the model 12 is the best. I have a model A12V. It runs at full speed only, I will try removing the condenser. Is it ok to remove the condenser on 240v models?
I also have a few accessories for it - juicer, drink mix and blender, and a pair of the original glass bowls.
There is a model now available in AU which is being sold as the "original" mixmaster, looks like the 1970s models. I had assumed it was just another retro styled piece of junk, is it actually a good machine?
The post-92 model you referred to - is that an all-plastic, very square body machine? integral motor and base, can't remove motor? I have fixed one of those for a neighbour.

Sunbeam Heritage
The new Sunbeam Heritage has a won design awards, internationally. It is more metal than plastic on the outside, but totally synthetic inside. It mixes well, has a geared bowl drive and is loud. Then, so are 6qt Kitchenaid and the Kenwood/Viking family. I find all the interlocks slow the seamless flow of mixing and using the mixer conveniently.
I have no experience with 240V but suggest you ask the question to WACEM on the Yahoo groups. They have lots of Australian repair tech members. The condensor smooths out communication from the governor and switch, reduce interference with TV and Radio and offers some protection against power surge. Try taking it out and run it for a short time. Check for the smell of heated wiring. Frankly, you've not much to lose, from it's present state.
Yes, the integrated one bodied unit began the shift, to the same motor in all Sunbeams with a 4qt bowl. Again a great machine if you know what your doing and do not press it's limits.
The newest Sunbeams have a bowl drive button that is 1/4 inch thick. It holds the beaters away from the floor of the bowl and requires more scraping. The blades of the new beaters are so thick it also slows whipping and it takes for ever to do cream or egg whites.

Not an appliance but cool...
This is me, Christmas 1969 with my first place setting of Corning Centura (and they wonder how...) This is a children's place setting of Centura, cup, bowl and salad plate, decorated with a bunny theme. My grandmother had a set of Cornflower Centura and ordered this for me. I still have them but never knew there was photgraphic evidence of the occasion. This explains why I have service for 80 of Centura now. I'm holding the cup, the bowl is on the floor and I also see a skillet on the coffee table and the center of a tube-pan on the floor by the divan...Santa was good to the Nunn's that year - all kitchenware!
These picture threads have been a lot of fun, I've been sitting in front of the picture box downstairs more than I have in years and seeing all sorts of fun things!

Sunbeam Sunbeam Sunbeam..
This is my kitchen. I grew up with Sunbeam... my mom had a model 11(center of this picture) and my grandmother had a model 9(next picture.
The far right one in this picture is an Australian model A-24
My favorite is the 12C. I have one that was restored by Philip Reed, it works beautifully.
In my china cabinet in the dining room sits a model 11C that I found new in the box. Its a beauty!
