Got this mixer Christmas Eve
Replaced the cord with a polarized cord and plug Solved the problem of having to start out on speed 2 then going back to speed 1. It helps if the beaters aren't hitting each other. One of the gears that drive the beaters was off by a tooth. While I was in there replaced the old grease with new food grade grease. Made sure that if the mixer is next to the sink the mixer won't shock anybody. Wired the polarized cord so the neutral goes to the field coil and the hot goes to the switch. At first I was still getting 31 Volts from the motor housing to a ground. Then I figured out it still had a capacitor in it to cut down on radio interference. Snipped the 2 leads going to the capacitor and the volts from the motor housing dropped from 31 V to 0.9 Volts. Finished cleaning it up and it runs like new now. |

I have pyrex bowls for the mixer in the large and small size.
The original bowls for this were custard glass which fluoresces under black light (meaning custard glass glows a greenish yellow because of the uranium oxide in the glass). The cord and plug are not a 3 prong, the plug is just a polarized plug that will only go in the outlet one way insuring that the motor is always be connected correctly, meaning that the hot goes to the switch and the neutral is always connected to the field coil. If you look at the picture you will see a little lever by the bowl turntable to adjust for bowl size. The mixer was made around 1934. |
