Go Beat Off

All Pictured mixers have been spoken for.  I have decided to give a hoarded chrome 12 to a special friend.  There's a Kitchenaid K-4B ready to go to Ralph and a 4C to Ron.  I have a Seafoam green Westinghouse Food Crafter with bowls but no beaters, a Dormeyer model 3000 and a K-4B in Copper left for adoption.  The local shipper charges me $10.00 to pack them and then shipping runs from $30.00 to 50.00 dollars depending on how far and how much an item weighs.

Those are absolutely freakin' B E A U T I F U L machines......I may have to get Mom's repainted in pink, of all colors, I just got a chrome one the other day.....and bowls, too many to count or display

keep up the great work!

Yes, we do get carried away with our collections, don't we?

God, this red model is a beauty!

How did you transfer the numberings, the printing to it?

Apart from that: I am just guessing those glass bowls are mounted rotatatably. True? Likewise, I think there is no geared power transfer to them. Right or wrong? So, does this mean all those Sunbeamers pull their dishes forward just by the pure power of pulling in all the ingredients right in front of their own beater inserts? Or is there some gearcase to it? I have always wondered....
How do those machines rotate their pots?

rotatably...

getting carried away, not a native speaker, sorry..
(rotatingly? rotating?)

The outside beater is curved to match the bowl in order to scrape it clean as it mixes, and there is a rubber nub on the bottom of this one beater which makes the bowl rotate, the platform rides free on a ball bearing socket.....there is no mechanical connection.....these mixers also can come free from their base to use as a hand unit, but they have some weight to them...

Bowl Rotation

Starting with the model 9 Sunbeam there is a plastic button on the bottom of the bowl-fit beater which turns the bowl.

This button can be added to the beater on the models 5 and 7.

For the Man Who Has Everything

Nice Collection Martin.  I had no idea you were a Sunbeam afficianado.  Please do me a favor and unwrap the cords from around the mixer head.  Its almost always leaves marks on the mixer head that are near impossible to remove.  The cords can also become stiff and crack at the bends.  Even more when ready to crank them on you have to first untie it.  The only thing I have ever seen worse is wrapping them around the upright of the stand.

I will do that with the cords....its something I learned from my Mother, thats how she always wanted it wrapped, thats hers in the Pink, a gift from my Dad, which if I am correct she got in 1951, and should be a Model 12, I have to check my facts on this again.....they are the greatest machines....I have a few others....and a lot more bowls, seems everytime I hit a thrift store I find and buy one.....I may bug you later, I have one thats missing a beater.....

Another set-up I like alot is the Oster Kitchen Center, I have 2, and almost every attachment, and spare pieces, also gave another to my sister, with a spare set of bowls, for someone who does a lot of baking, she loves it to death!
