That avocado model 12 is cool

Did they keep the model 12 in Canada after it was replaced by the Brady style here?
Australia had their own unique model too, the A-24
very nice finds Pete!

Louis, you are washing that blender jar exactly as the manufacturer recommended. Waring held on to that design for a long time. They made a change for a short time in the 70s with a snap out blade mechanism in the same jar design, but it was of limited value. Towards the mid 70s, they started making models with a removable jar base. Unlike other brands though, the blade was not removable from the base. Oster & Panasonic blenders were better back in the 70s in my opinion.

Pete, that jar with the flat black top on the Sunbeam blender looks almost exactly like the blender jar in the blender accessory that went with the Mixmaster.

Pete.....

I found an imcomplete but pretty cool Bosch Universal Jubilee mixer at a garage sale this morning for $3. I'd take a pic but the camera batteries are dead at the moment.

Do you know anything about getting parts for them or is that just hit and miss on eBay?

Thanks!

Jeff, yes there was an avocado newer style MM I'll try and post the catalog page from 73/74.

The blenders jar is "almost" identical to the Mixmasters jar. Only the bottom portion of the blenders jar is narrower or cut in to fit into the blender base. The mixers blender jar won't fit the blender motor base. Also the blender uses a spline drive while the mixers blender jar has an odd metal coupling.

Heather, I'm not sure if the word "jubilee" makes your Universal a different model altogether than the normal Bosch Universal. Do you mean repair parts or missing bowls and beaters etc? There's a grain/health type store here in town that sells Bosch Universals and accessories so that's where I go. But you can just as well order them online from a Bosch distributor. What's missing on yours. They're excellent mixers btw, much easier to use and more powerful than KA.

MMB style

Pete the green mixer in shown in the catalog is the "Brady Bunch" mixmaster, and that style/model debuted here in the USA in 1967, replacing the model 12 series.
When did the MMB style come out in Canada?

 

[petek]

The new updated style came out in the late 60's here as well because I remember our neighbor lady next door had a chrome one as well as a Sunbeam blender (oster square style with a sliding control lever). Yes I was always looking to see what appliances other people had. And of course I wanted one,err my folks to buy one, we had an old mixmaster junior. But alas my mother was a working mom and not partial to making cakes etc. like the neighbor. She did relent and get me a Waring blendor, a model 1197 with timer and 8 speeds so I could make milkshakes etc. Anything to get me to drink more milk which I hated plain.

Bosch

Well, I need a converter to try it out as it is 220-240V.

Mine just came with the bowl, clear bowl covers, and the kneading accessory. No beaters, blender, etc.

Here is a pic.

Heather, what you have there is the optional stainless steel bread making bowl with the built in dough hook, good for up to 12 cups of flour. The regular bowl is a white plastic type with a center cone (like a bundt pan)and you attach the beaters,whisks and paddles to that. So if you want to use it as a regular mixer with whisks you need to buy the bowl, the bowl ring cover (if the one from the SS doesn't already fit it) the converter attachment which sits atop the cone in the bowl and spins, and then the whisks, cookie paddles. You're looking at a sum of money because each part isn't cheap. The blender jar costs something like $50, the food processor attachment around $100 give or take, etc.
Add to that yours is 220v you can't just plug it in. I'd look for a local bosch dealer and see if they can install a 120v motor... Or you can buy a whole new one for about $375.

Yikes...........

Well, for the $3 it cost me, no big loss. I will just toss it on eBay and see if I can get a taker or maybe part it out.

I have a KA already but couldn't resist leaving this behind.

Thanks for all your info Pete. You are a great wealth of knowledge!!
