You are a real inspiration. What did you do to fix the limited range of the speed control. I have a Model G with the same issue. Thanks
Thanks! The low speed is adjusted by turning the screw at the rear of the machine, as you lower the speed of the lowest setting, it increases the range of the speed. For instance if you have speed 1 set a little too high you will notice no difference in your 2 highest speeds, so turning it down a little slower will give you the full range. It is under the back of the handle, and you will have to loosen the jamb nut , make your adjustment, then tighten the jamb nut back down.
@@vintagemixersandmore1666 Worked like a charm. I really enjoy your videos and have started my own little collection. All thanks to you!
@@Alex-kk6tp Thanks, and congrats! They are definitely special, for the nostalgia, the craftmanship, and the cool factor!
@@vintagemixersandmore1666 What screw at the rear of the machine? Do I need to remove the handle to get to the screw? If I need to remove the handle, is the screw in the front the only screw holding the handle? Our mixer has only a single speed, will this restore all of the speeds?
I removed the handle. The screw with the jam nut was easily visible. Loosed the jam nut. Tightened the screw. Now have 6 out of 9 speeds. Does anyone know if it possible to get the other 3 speeds back? Not that my wife is complaining, 6 is SO MUCH better than 1.
At 10:48 you mention the contacts and refer to it as a governor. This is the problem on the one I am trying to revive for a friend. When you put it together, it more or less opens those contacts and the motor runs real slow. It looks like the reeds have been bent by someone in an attempt to keep these contacts closed. Not understanding the concepts of how this plate with the contacts is SUPPOSED to work, makes it very difficult to fix it. Can you offer any insight on it?
Thank you for your videos of this process. I just picked up an older model g I want to completely go through. I have not yet gone through all your videos but was interested in knowing where you get replacement feet, capacitor, cord, decals Etc from? Is there a One-Stop source or is it possible to get those items through you at all? Thanks, Kevin
Hi Kevin, thanks! I buy cords and feet n bulk but they can be purchased in smaller quantities, I will add links to the parts I use. I use some other hard to find parts from donor machines, which I am now running out of, so will have to source them elsewhere. The decals I make myself, they are adhesive decals, but you can find decals here as well www.nelsonezy.com/New-Vintage-Mixer-Parts-Decals_c17.htm
Here is a single power cord www.ebay.com/itm/Electrical-Power-Extension-Computer-PC-Monitor-Printer-Projector-Cable-Wire-Cord/301650281105?hash=item463bc20291:rk:1:pf:0&var
Here are some rubber feet www.ebay.com/itm/8-Rubber-Bumpers-With-Embedded-SS-Washer-Low-Profile-Feet-3-4-Diameter-7-64-Ht/252978926918?hash=item3ae6b81546:g:Wx8AAOSwxu5ZOAPJ:rk:9:pf:0
You can find replacement brushes here , for the main brushes, use 414 www.carbonbrush.com/nolead.htm
You can check electronic supply houses for capacitors such as mouser.com
Hope this helps!
@@vintagemixersandmore1666 thank you so much I appreciate all your effort to give me that information. I do a lot of repair and restoration of vintage Coleman lanterns and stoves. That's more my specialty but I am interested in this new world of mixers. Thank you again and look forward to many more of your videos.
Kevin
@@ratrivervintage6306 thank you, it's always nice to know there are others doing repairs and restorations on other vintage items, I think you will love the vintage mixer restorations! Good luck!
this is helpful. even 5 years later with some dead links. nelsonezy still has decals. thanks wherever you are!@@vintagemixersandmore1666
Dude's smoke alarm beeping and he doesn't know? At first I thought it was mine!
Edit: I came back to watch this again. Those threaded rods were a bugger to get out on mine too. And I thought my smoke alarms were beeping at me again!
