Sunbeam model 7B mixer manual scans

[fltcoils]

I liked the manual so much I bought a 7B today.

My mom had a later model.

Today at the "antiques on the bluff" in stjoe/benton harbor I saw a mixmaster for sale. "I wonder what model it is?" Turned out to be a 7B. "It was used by my aunt, but she only used a microwave the last 20 years, didn't cook with the mixer. It's just the way she left it.

Got the mixer, the small and large bowl, and the juicer bowl, arbor, spout and strainer.
My mom has the meat grinder for hers.

So I'm all set.

Who else has/uses mixmasters here? Does anyone follow the manual and oil the bearings each month, and checked the grease each year? Where to get new brushes?

Drew thank you for posting this wonderful manual. I have one around here somewhere I think, although I don't have any of the pre-1950 mixers, save for the second one they came out with, ivory with green glassware and wooden handle, one of may items which decorates my father's kitchen above the cabinets. I'm almost positive this manual is a pre-war version, although I don't know if the mixer you have is or not. Have you used it at all?

Early on, there was even a special cabinet you could purchase from Sunbeam to properly store your full set of attachments. I have a feeling many of the people that had that much of the set probably had household help. Certainly they would have been in the higher echelons. And all these things you did with the 120 watt motor or whatever it was. This is how I've come to know that the quality of a motor has to have far more to it than its wattage.

I didn't know about the juicer, but while the slicer shredder, meat grinder, and drink mixer (with the addition of the blender) continued with the post 1950 models (10 and above), they are not, for a number of reasons, interechangeable with one another. I sold some attachments on Ebay in the past and was always careful to mention that to people.

Archive?

I think this thread should be archived. Partially for its sheer usefulness, and also for the sweetness of it all.

I'd love it. I have the orig scans still hidden away. How would one go about doing this? Oh, Robert? Share your wisdom with me!

I received an email asking if this thread could be somehow archived. I created a new category under the "Vintage Fun Stuff" button on the home page, if you scroll to near the bottom of that page there is a new category called "USEFUL SUPER FORUM THREADS NOT OTHERWISE ARCHIVED". This thread will be available from there even after it falls off the bottom.

Thank you!

Looks like Robert has a 'solved' button on his keyboard as well as a 'zot'...
