Looks like Yogi's Washateria! All they need is coin boxes.

oh come on.....you guys have seen all my playrooms, well, sort of...thru the eyes of my wash-ins!

 

[ovrphil]

way more

stuff than I imagined...thanks for sharing those Osters - the one I saw w/o the accessories and bowl was the one you bought in 1988....great collection, enjoyed viewing it. What a set of waves.

 

[yogitunes]

A little more along a better price range....

Interesting...

I just snagged this Regency for $7.50, figured it was worth it for the food mill attachment though it's a little modern for my tastes. Can anyone tell me what the correct bowls are for this one? Any special markings to identify them? Thanks- Cory

 

[yogitunes]

at those prices Cory....you can't say no.....even for parts alone...

I have been using all the bowls that fit Sunbeam Mixmasters.....and should say "Sunbeam" or "Fireking" on the bottom for the most part, at least the large ones do.....you can find them at most thrift shops and flea markets....never paying more than 5.00 for one....wow, I must have about 30 of them or more...

keep an eye for the stainless ones as well.....

so far, all the attachments, including the jar, for an Osterizer Blender fit these units as well...

these in the link will fit you machine.....and about the best price I could find thru ebay....

I posted this link to give you an idea of what is written on the bottom and what to look for......

note: not all of them have printing like this.....some are plain clear or frosted only and no printing shown....

after a while, you will pick them out of a line in an instant....their not had to find....

Oster Kitchen Center

I LOVE this machine and am so sorry they stopped making them! Got my first one about 16 years ago (The white smooth touch one). It was about $100 on sale at Sterns. Since then I've had 2 more (same model)but never at such a great deal. Now I'm looking to replace my current unit & thinking of getting an older one for the meat grinder & pasta attachments. I already have the ice cream maker, the juicer attachment, and the little chopper piece so if anyone finds a good deal on the mixer, blender, food processor I'd appreciate a link! The meat grinder & pasta accessories would be a nice bonus

 

[retromania]

Wow~

I am jealous!!!

 

[tolivac]

Oster center-would like one-but the ones I see at yard sales are broken,incomplete-or tagged"Does not work"-HMMMM

 

[yogitunes]

they are all over ebay......prices vary.....and some attachments I never knew existed, I may had to add a few to my collection.....

you do know that these parts and heads are interchageable for most....I try to get everything in white, so I can mix/match any way I want....but you have to take what you can find.....I just found one on ebay in avocado....who knew?

Martin, all we have left

of the Regency we bought new in '74, almond color with the black face plate and 3 button with Speed Control knob, is the blender base and glass blender jar and lid, but we'd like to get the units needed to re-create the meat grinder feature - do they all interchange and what parts would we need exactly ? Don't need the mixer and other stuff as we got a HD KA model in the 80s and both large and small Cuisinarts, hence we jettisoned the rest of the Oster stuff.... dumb dumb dumb.

 

[yogitunes]

with the exception of the Euro models....all heads seem to interchange and fit one another....I have 6 and can change back and forth.....

your gonna need a mixer head for the grinder to function, making sure it has the open port on the back to accept a grinder attachment.....

heres a head to give you an idea.....

[yogitunes]

heres the grinder attachment......

you may want to consider buing a while complete unit....just compare cost back and forth with shipping and see what may be cheaper for you.....

yo may find once you get all these attachments, to start using them more than ever...

Nothing says "Vintage" like an avocado Regency setup!

Thanks Martin!

That avocado model is the exact one we have (in almond) with the sliding red bar indicator for the speed control knob... looking at all that I can't believe now that we cavalierly just threw out that stuff, including the mixer head and all the rest of the parts... what were we thinking??

 

[ovrphil]

I like that Avocado color, Martin - I never see these at the thrifts I visit - once only, as I mentioned above - your collection, again, is great.

Inherited this from the grandmother.  I remember when she got it, it was a gift.

The shredder appears to not been used.

The blender blade seal is missing.

The little knobby piece is missing from the beater release.

I cleaned it up and ran it briefly.  A screeching noise started after a minute or so.  Needs lubrication?  Bad brushes on the motor?

Oster kitchen center preferred model

Hello Everyone, any preferences re which model you like most? My mom had the model with the handle on top for easy moving (the crown regency). I am curious about model 5500; any thoughts re it’s durability, pros/cons when compared to the crown regency model?
