At the flea market today I found a GE stand/hand mixer that I believe to be of the 1970s. It's all white plastic and has a big handle and a small knob on the body of the mixer with 12 speeds. It came with two white glass bowls and beaters. The turntable is adjustable for the bowl size by placing it into either of two holes, kind of like the later Sunbeam Mixmaster classics were.
What sold me on it was it still had the GE hang tag attached to the cord and the cord wrap. I don't know if I did bad or not for $12. I have read on here in the past that these were not great mixers, not very powerful but I figured since it was nearly complete why not.
I can tell it doesn't have the details like my Sunbeam Mixmaster has, it doesn't have the drive button on the beater to spin the bowl or the bowl fit beater design.
Speaking of which, there was also a Mixmaster at the flea market for $25, it was just like mine but in white. It had both bowls and the beaters and dough hooks, tempting but I don't need two Mixmasters. I do still need a small bowl for mine though.
