according to the serial number if I reading it right it'as a 1957 model but if it is it was well cared for. The bowl and the beater is from a Kitchen aid K5 model but the whip is from A Hobart model G. I was told that the kitchen aid beater wouldn't work on it but it does to my suprise but I do use the whip instead to me the whip works better but I do intend to get the proper Hobart beater for it one day. I have put in an order to 2 different supply houses but neither had it in stock and there go for an really enormious amount on ebay. In the supply houses they charge 46.00 plus shipping but on ebay they normally run anywhere from 60 to 100. I could be reading the serial number wrong not sure
Thanks so much. Yes I at first wanted a Hobart Model G but then When I saw the model N50 and it being newer and better then the G I went ahead and started shopping around but boy those hobarts really do well on ebay if there are complete.
but with everything mine probably cost right at 300.00. like i say there's something about this hobart that grabbed me because normally when I first get a mixer in. I usually use it a couple of times then start using all of my others but for some reason now it's the only mixer I use now.
