Have several vintage mixers that work and function fine on all speeds and adjust speed as they should, but they have either a strong electrical fire odor and/or make intermittent small popping and clicking noises.
I know they have likely been run into the ground and used heavily by past owners, but just wanted to get an idea of what to begin looking at first as to tackling what is causing the odor. Grease? Brushes? Soot buildup on the armature?
Also what grease should be used? Food-safe grease?
Coincidentally they are all MixMasters of various ages and one is a Kenmore. I believe they are mid or late 60s and one is a 70s model. The Kenmore might be 40s or 50s.
