And this jingle just makes me want to scream, it's so cute!! I'd love to find one of the earlier models like in this commercial... This post was last edited 08/18/2013 at 23:31 | ||

Looks like so much fun! In great shape. I love the flat base where the motor is. So modern! | ||

Kenmore mixer I noticed the numbered dial in the upper right corner of the disassembly pic- is that from a Kenmore stand mixer? | ||

Fred - that's a beauty! And the jingle alone would have sold me on it!
Actually, I have one that has the lever style control instead of the pushbuttons. I haven't used it in a while but it was certainly strong enough to make homemade celery seed salad dressing and wonderful mai tai's! GE also made a percolator during this period that was the same wonderful shape as your blender carafe - an oval shape. Tres elegante!! Enjoy your fabulous find! Here's the perc:

Just be careful with ice... This is what happened to the blade assembly of the tan model when I added too much too fast. I haven't tried to repair it yet.

I've got the one in stainless
My parents bought the stainless version in about 1963 / 1964. It has the hi/lo lever rather than pushbuttons. My Dad bought it from the employee store when my Grandmother came to live with us.
Still have it. Still works. It has made about 10000 milkshakes. Always with Walgreens Ice cream. For me it wins awards for durability. Sentimental value. It's been decommissioned as the jar got chipped. So many happy memories... With a blender! Go figure. | ||

Nice looking blender Yours can't be 10 1/2 inches tall! Funny about the ice because ours was the one in the commercial and that thing could chop ice like nothing else. I used to like to chew ice at night and would make slush in the evening while watching TV almost every nite. Mom finally just put it away when she got the GE food processor, she used that weekly.
I forgot how convenient that large top opening was, I used to love to start the milk and then pour in the chocolate and watch the swirl take place.

No problem, Fred... It's a mechanical connection. Tab at top of handle fits into a slot molded into the carafe and screw at the bottom. The carafe is a plastic/acrylic of some sort. On the white blender it's tinted a grey and the tan is tinted tan. Bill

Comes to the Rescue!
But it does look so much bulkier when compared side by side to the earlier models. I imagine they must have made it taller to accomodate the pushbutton switches?
