Howdy y'all! I picked this beauty up back in May and she cleaned up real nice! I didn't do any touch-up painting on the bottom though. I enjoyed looking at it but like all of my "picks", it must go to a new home since I don't have space for everything.

I just sold my TI-99 computer, I loved the stainless steel look it had!

This will go great with somebody's vintage Kirby or Electrolux collection!

Bid away, my friends!

OOOOOOOOO CHROME! I have the white, plain version! I talked the seller into throwing it in with a set of Eureka attachments for $8!

Love Those Sunbeams!

I've rebuilt a lot of those little babies to the point that I could rebuild them in my sleep! I have a chrome version Sunbeam, but it's an older version, model HM-1 3 speed. Also, have 3 that are the same version as yours. I have an avocado and wood grain 5 speed burst of power no model number (sticker is gone), a pink model HMD-1 3 speed, and a brown JC Penny that is literally the exact same just badged JC Penny 5 speed extra power. I just bought a 1983 cream and wood grain Sunbeam Heavy Duty 5 speed burst of power for a friend as a house warming present. It came with the original box, manual w/recipes, and advertisement brochure! Poor little guy had a screw inside of it that didn't belong in there and it had bent all of the fan blades to the point that it wouldn't really work! I went ahead and totally rebuilt and hand polished it. Sammy (my husband) fixed all of the fan blades. It now runs great, smooth, and very quiet!!! Can't wait to give it our friend! Love your little chrome guy, very cute!!! :) -Michelle
 
Oh...

and I thought it might also be 60s...I have serval classic bicycles that look like they are from the 50s, but are actually 60's models! Some even have fins on the book racks!
 
Wow!

4 watchers and one lucky feller got a bargain! I also have an Avocado Green Sunbeam ending in less than hour for the same price!

I also have another Avocado Green sunbeam with several speeds and woodgrain that I hope to clean up and list this weekend.

I have a beautiful Sears model in two-tone Avocado Green and white with the storage case, egg beaters, cord, box, even some of the packing supplies! Sadly, a coil wire in the motor is broken and it will not work. I've been on the prowl for a donor but to no avail. I'd be more than willing to sell it cheap to a GOOD HOME where it will be properly repaired. I can't just throw away something that has survived for half a century over a busted wire.
