About a year ago, I bought a 1970s vintage chrome Sunbeam Mixmaster because my girlfriend likes to bake and all I had was this crappy handheld that my ex had left behind. It's served us well but was missing some accessories, so earlier this week, I found an absolutely new looking chrome Mixmaster Vista with a brown base for $5.50 at a thrift store. It has the pieces we were missing from the other one, but this one has no bowls.
Today, she comes home from the church rummage sale and says she has a surprise for me--a 1989 vintage Mixmaster "American Classic" in almond, complete with the manual, all it's accessories and glass bowls. Now we have three, plus the aforementioned crappy blue Farberware handheld and the Kitchenaid that's at her place. Yes, I do believe we have a collection going--or maybe she does.
One question. Is it possible to replace the latch on a Mixmaster base? The reason I ask is I've got a chrome metal base that came with the first Mixmaster I got, but the little latch at the top is broken. I'm using that mixer with a white plastic base I got on eBay. It works fine and looks okay, but I'd love to be able to use the original chrome base with it.
