Hi everyone! I thought I would share my love for mixers! Starting with the back stand mixers, to the left are: my 1938 Sunbeam 3b named "Bernadine", my 1957 Dormeyer Mixwell named "Dormey", and my 1950 Sunbeam 10b named "Geraldine". Now the front hand mixers, to the left are: my pink Sunbeam named "Sunny", my brown JC Penny named "Brownie", my green Sunbeam named "Woody", and my pink General Electric named "Jenny". By the way, I name any in adamant object that I love! I'll share some history on all of them. My husband bought "Bernadine" off of Ebay for me, talking to the seller, he said it was his mother's mixer, so which is cool, I'm the second owner!!! She didn't come with the large bowl, so down the road I'll have to get her one. I will be restoring her and painting her aqua. I got "Dormey" off of Ebay as well. We just have to run thru him to make sure he's good to go. My "Geraldine" I got at one of our local antique stores downtown. This was the very first stand mixer I ever got! I paid slightly under $13.00 for her!!! When I found her at the store, she was hidden on a low shelf in the darkest spot, I couldn't even really tell what it was until I took it off of the shelf! She was in very rough shape! She didn't come with bowls or beaters; I had to do extensive research to figure out exactly what bowls and beater she needed! Plus, where her bowl adjuster is, it was missing the lever/knob and was crushed to the point that you couldn't use it! She was the first motor rebuild I ever saw! My husband took her completely apart and showed me everything. He painted her pink and repainted her stand black. He fixed her crushed in lever slot. I was able to find her an original lever/knob which we still have to put on. Oh, and her speed dial was cracked! My husband repaired that as well! We still have to paint her speed dial black and paint the white on the letters. She's come along way and works great!!! She loves to make cake! Ha Ha!!! Time for my hand mixers. My pink Sunbeam "Sunny" I just bought off of Ebay for my birthday. She didn't come with beaters or a power cord, but since I have other exact mixers, I just share with her. When I got her, she ran slow, not to her greatest potential so my husband took her apart and I got to watch how to fix her. She runs great now!!! My JC Penny "Brownie" I bought off of Ebay for my birthday as well. He came with his beaters, cord, and original manual. He ran good, but not great. This was the first hand mixer I ever took apart and cleaned all by myself! He purrs now!!! Also, we made that front decal for him. He didn't have one so I wanted an engine turned decal. My husband showed me how to engine turn that decal on aluminum tape. Looks pretty cool, I'm happy with it! My Sunbeam "Woody" came from our local thrift store downtown. I paid $3.00 for him. He came with beaters and cord. He was the first hand mixer my husband ever took apart to show me how to fix them. He runs wonderful! We've already used him a few times!!! Lastly, is my General Electric "Jenny". I bought her off of Etsy a few years back for my birthday. She came with beaters and cord. She was real slow like and gummy sounding. I did use her a few times to make cake before we cleaned her up. We just took her apart a week ago and got her running back to how she should be. She works great now!!! As of now, I have an older Sunbeam hand mixer on it's way to my house from Ebay and I will be bidding on two more hand mixers on Ebay in the next day or two! I'm obsessed with them!!! They're sooo fun to work on!!! I can't wait to work on more!!! Thought I would share a bit of my happiness with everyone!!!
