the MOTHER of all Blenders

[jetcone]

well I scarfed this Oster beauty up on ebay recently because I had never seen this model before , from 1957 it is!

When I got it up and running I got a few surprises see the photographic evidence for yourselves!

Here is a teaser shot of the water SCREAMING to be let out of the jar!

another teaser

 

[jetcone]

Nice OSTER huh?

Well now we get to the SCALE of this mother! First teaser look at the cutter assembly for this baby compared to the Large Oster from the 60's!
Look at the height of that bearing!!!!!!

 

[jetcone]

This Electro Blender

DWARFS MY seriously large early 50's Copper beast and the base of this MOTHER weighs in at 11 ELEVEN Pounds!!!!

 

[jetcone]

It even Dwarves the

VITA MIXER!!!!!!!

 

[jetcone]

It even dwarves

the NEW VITA MIX!! See the photographic evidence yourselves!

 

[jetcone]

It has a Ruby Dial

that lights up but the bulb needs replacing (YAY! I get to operate!)

How Dorthy is that???

 

[jetcone]

This was not what I expected

when I bid my little butt off! What a surprise, I can't wait to try smoothies in this Muthur!!!!

These things must have been sold in backrooms to the ultra rich way beyond us plebes! I had never seen this model before anyone else ever see it before?????

 

[charbee]

OK...I'm adding a new "saved search" to eBay...

 

[jetcone]

Charbee

I searched under Oster not Osterizer so that might help as it says no where on it Osterizer.

Good luck

Jon

 

[swestoyz]

Ooo, Jon - I spy a 6300 and a 2285(??) back by the window!!

Very cool find. Love the dial, and the heft!

Hey big blender....what'cha doin' tonight?

Very impressive - when size really matters, get an Electro Blender!

Is the jar the same size? Do you have a book for it? What are the motor stats?

Love the PILES of vintage audio - I see the Advents came down off the living room wall - or are these "new?"

 

[qsd-dan]

I spy lots of Sansui and Marantz goodies

 

[petek]

ah so you're the one that got it... filing for future referencing...grrrrrr

LOL

 

[pdub]

Great find Jet! Love all your blenders. You've got some pretty great vintage audio gear too.

I was hoping for another reflection off the blender but, oh well!

 

[redcarpetdrew]

Yes, but

will it out chew the Blendtec?

Hi Ben

that you see is a G-8000 all restored and sounding terrific. The Marantz TT you guessed is a 6300 wonderful unit, direct drive!

The Marantz receiver is a prize from college, I worked 6 months in food service to buy that baby new and she has been with me since spring 1976!
My favorite unit!

Greg those are extre Advents I purchased 4 years ago they were too cheap to pass on so now there are four.

I didn't get the manual from the Electro Blender but I will check the HP when I get back up there.

PeteK now did you really want that dust collector???? duks and runs!

RCD it probably won't out chew that becuase Blend Tec et Vita Mix realized it was RPMs that mattered not HP this has HP but tops out around 7,000 RPMS so it is the Mother not the grandaughter of blenders.

 

[petek]

I did see it but didn't bid either because people were bidding already or the seller only shipped to to the US. Can't remember which but I usually don't bid on anything if people are already bidding because normally I won't pay more than $20 for anything at all and on ebay it's worse cause then I have to pay for shipping on top so I buy little on Ebay unless it really grabs me.
The last blender I bought on ebay a few months ago was that little Oster Junior I'd never seen before. all plastic base and jar and even though it's called Junior it's not really any smaller than the metal beehive Osters. Plus it has a wagon wheel drive, very un-Oster like as well. It's also from about 1957. Must have been the budget model and you got the TOL model

 

[tolivac]

That is an interesting and nice blender!What is the power rating of the motor?Do like its larger blade assembly.

 

[jetcone]

Pete

I think that is the nicest little blender! 1957 must have been an odd year at Oster, designs that only lasted a season? And then they went back to the standard up to today.
I am surprised that unit has the wagon wheel drive I thought that was a 1960's innovation. Today they are going back to the steel block and calling it "all metal drive"!!

Rex: I was very surprised and found it by accident that the cutter assembly was entirely different. Even the blade lenght is longer than the regular models.
I am not in Melrose this weekend so I'll check the HP when I get back but I think it is around 800 watts.

 

[foraloysius]

Wow!

Nice blender!!!

Does it pulverize raspberry seeds??

 

[jetcone]

It will be put to the

test this week Louis I'll let you know, that is a good test for sure.
I am betting it does the way that water was screaming to get out!

Ofcourse I want to get the light behind the Ruby Dial working again too!

 

[tlee618]

Jon, what a fun blender, hope you will post a picture when you get the light working. That is one I have never seen before.

 

[qsd-dan]

I purchased 4 years ago they were too cheap to pass on so n

Time to find a quadraphonic Marantz 4400 receiver to enjoy some 4 channel goodness.

 

[foraloysius]

Just bumping it up for the results of the raspberry seeds test...

 

[dnastrau]

Marantz receiver! Oster blenders too!

Nice Marantz Jetcone! My dad still has his '75 Marantz 2250 receiver and matching Imperial 8 speakers along with a Benjamin ELAC Miracord 660H turntable. Great audio equipment!

My aunt and uncle have the chrome version of your copper Oster blender. They got it as a wedding gift in '56 and it hasn't missed a beat...

[jetcone]

Thank you Andrew

My Marantz is from college days and is still my favorite unit. Recently I did buy the TOL version 2325 and I use that a lot too. Marantz has a great sound always did!

I paired my receiver with Advent Large speakers in the walnut cabinet and I just reconed them. Sound great! Rocks the house down.

Louis I will get to those raspberries this week, its been a busy time taking in all those Stick Blenders!!!
