ProDave Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Nearly 20 years ago I wanted a mixer. There was an old one in the garden where I was doing some work. So I asked if he wanted to sell it. His answer was no, but you can borrow it. So I did. When I had done my job I phoned him to arrange a time to take it back. "Oh I don't want it back" was his answer. Last time I used it, last year, I find it is on it's last legs, it runs but the motor overheats. I got by running if from my big Variac on a reduced voltage and only mixing half a load, it would then run long enough, just before the thermal trip popped. Trouble is the rest of it is so rusty it's probably not even worth seeking a replacement motor unless that is also free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveasteading Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 The main problem with an eclectic mixer might be boredom. Might have to try lots of mixes to keep it interested. I've messaged the seller who is going to try it out. Won't be free if it works, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToughButterCup Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Or you could fit the mixer with shovels one day, paddles the next, then trowels and so on. An Eclectimix. Gonna register the tradename terday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I was given a similar mixer 20 odd years ago, used it constantly and only gave it away when I moved last year, switch was knackered and hard wired to the plug, it was 110volt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
