I was looking though craigslist the the other day like I normally do and I came across this. For $20 I couldn't pass it up. It runs great, just needs a good cleaning and a new belt.

Nice find!

That is part of the 1980 Hot Fudge, and Forsting White Montgomery wards collection. That was the top of the line model. It should have had a white and chocolate brown box top bag with it.


Also here is the 1980 Montgomery Wards catalog page, showing the range of Hot Fudge machines made by Eureka. I have all of them but one.

Nice, I'm thinking of changing the bag just because it is really dirty and it is starting to come off at the fill tube. But if you don't need the bag I would be interested in it.

Actually...

That model is a ligher more carmel brown, than the dark Chocolate hot fudge brown of mine and his.

Here is my set of the 1980 Wards, including the one speed 6AMP model that is listed, but not illustrated in the catalog. I have never seen another.
