[travlincub321]

All i can say is wow.. I had alot of fun, good food and met a really great person.. Who knows alot about Mixmasters and anything small.. I am really impressed at how much Kelly knows and has shared.. I had fun and now i can take alot of pictures and share...

Kelly got the Model #9 lubed up and going strong.. Still need to get the power cord replaced before i leave, but im impressed.. Its soo quite and strong... He gave me the smaller bowl and adjusted everything..

My Model MM had been dropped and the head was messed up.. I let him keep it for parts and he gave me a replacement head and the correct beaters..Here she is making a Red Velvet Cake

On to this beauty i had found in Reno.. I thought it was great, but Kelly told me the bearings where shot.. GRRRS.. It was $5.. No great loss, but still.. Decided to let it go on to the great appliance god in the sky

And insted kelly gave me this Sunbeam.. I think i will be much happier with this one.. And its Alvacodo Green.. It will have a happy new home

Here is my GE Food Processor.. I found this too in Reno and paid $1.00 for it.. Kelly looked over it and its in really good shape.. Now the one thing.... I need to find the blender jar and attachments and a food pusher... I lost the food pusher in the travel home.. But it didnt have the blender jar.. I love the food processor and from what kelly told me, its hardly been used.. Some how i wound up with more pics of it than anything else..Guess cause i really like it

Here it is chopping apples for the raw apple cake

Yay for the model 9!!!

Cub, I'm so happy that mixer ended up with a loving home! I had to explain to my model 7 that she needed to go to the mixer day spa for a workover. A big Thank you to Kelly for taking care of it. I was pleased as it was when I found it at a thrift shop as the paint was in good shape but now the workings are just as good... I wish I could be up there right now as well but pictures will suffice.

and the beat goes on..............

Its always nice to be with people who speak the launguage of love...appliance love. We played with them all, some repairs finite, some a bit of encouragement with a smack. I took apart a yellow Model 12 to replace the armature and bushing. I had a little help from Paul who pulled the governor stem out of the amature and so after reassemble it became apparent the donor armature wasn't going to work. Then after the second reassemble I hadn't timed the gears correctly and the beaters clicked. I decided to set it down and walk away for another day. I look at these old hands and ask what happened?!? They worked the last time I tried this.

Dormeyer

Hi Kelly-
It looks like my ultimate mixer fantasy come true- glad you guys are having fun. I noticed a Dormeyer SM12 (?) in the background. Do you use it for anything in particular? I had one for awhile and, like many of the mixers I've had, I sell them when I need room then months later have to restrain myself from bidding on another one! Keep the pictures coming.

Dormeyer

I was going to secretly put together a Dormeyer for a friend on the site who waxes over his childhood Dormeyer. It arrived with a broken plastic base, no turn table and only one beater. So, there it sits until I can get a turntable and really use it just once, to remind myself how much I love Bowl-Fit beaters.
