Right.

Right. I found a set on eBay. However,

Right again!

And right. As I explained in an email to Kelly, I had gotten model numbers, well, MIXED up haha! I really am not a collector of anything other than old vacuum cleaners although there are a couple of other things that I do enjoy having around, things like old mixers and toasters.
One of my favorite old toasters is a Sunbeam where the toast glides down and then glides back up when ready. It's a beautiful looking toaster too! The ad is kinda funny, says something along the line of "No more banging and clanking when your toast is ready!" So I have some of these things around but know very little about them such as model numbers, years of manufacture etc. I did figure the Chrome MM to be mid to late 1960s based on its overall styling and aesthetics.
The other mixer I have is the same model as the chrome one, but in turquoise. It's stored in my garage at the moment since it doesn't really match anything. About 10 years ago I painted my kitchen in white and turquoise with copper accents.
Then when the building was recently sold, our kitchen was repainted. I told the new owner I wanted it the same color as I had painted it, especially since I have a 1957 turquoise Hotpoint "No Frost 14" refrigerator! I even still had more than enough paint left over from the last time I had done it.
Well, the a##hole painted it a hideous battleship gray color -- yes, GRAY for a kitchen, and put down an even more hideous vinyl sheet floor over the original linoleum that was probably original to the building (1937). Need I say how disgusted I was... Eventually I'll paint it turquoise again but that will have to wait for a long rainy day.......
My frig is in real nice shape too but my Sigot keeps bugging me about getting a new one. He thinks this one costs a lot of money to run, and he doesn't like the color turquoise. What a cretin!
