Received an Oster when I was first married in 1977. It finally bit the dust, but it was definitely a workhorse.
I absolutely enjoyed your collection of vintage blenders and your knowledge about them. But one thing is for sure, they just don't make them like they used to. Thank you for sharing with us! 🙂
Cavalcade of Food-Hi Kevin and Ralph! This is a good video, indeed. I like to see and hear about older vintage things. You guys never cease to wow me, whether it's cooking or blendors. I feel like I've taken a walk back through yesteryear at the end of your videos-and I like it! I would like to see your collection of old coffee pots, electric percolators and the old stove top kind that would boil over if you didn't watch it and turn it down in time. LOL Happy Valentine's Day to you both, Ralph and Kevin! :-)
I have a modern Oster Beehive blender with a blue base. It's a Chinese made copy of the original ones and has three speeds. I mostly use it for making ice cream frappes and frozen mudslides.
I like vintage appliances and will try to buy them when I need something instead of buying brand new. For instance my Chinese made Sunbeam toaster was failing so instead of buying another cheap modern toaster I went to Ebay and found a beautiful almost new condition Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster. I believe it is a later model probably from the 80s or 90s just before they stopped making them. It works beautifully and I probably won't have to ever buy another one for the rest of my life. I also have a 1950s vintage Kenmore waffle iron that works great and is built like a tank. I also have a Maytag washing machine that is now 42 years old and still works perfectly.
There's nothing like those old vintage machines. I hold on to them because they hark from simpler times when people were fundamentally honest and hard working, used to make them by hand so they were simple to repair and could be made to last for generations with just a little bit of TLC, just like relationships back in those days ❤️
Love this. They all look new !
i love your kitchen very retro and looks good i love vintage retro stuff and mid century
Glad you like the kitchen! Thanks for watching!
You Ned to write a book for all you appliances. It's fun to reminisce and you knowledge is amazing. I want a cookbook too. You love for everything vintage is wonderful
This is very cool. I have a vintage Osterizer blender of my own. According to the book, it's from 1970, it's the Imperial Cyclo-Trol Eight, heavy chrome base with a front plastic bezel, black fascia with an avocado strip where the buttons are and 3 red ones for pulse/off. The jug is plastic, but has the screw off base and white plastic lid. Bought it at an estate sale in the 90's.
I don't use it all that often now but before I bought my vintage 1982 Cuisinart DLC 8 11 Cup food processor a decade ago, it got more use than it has since, however unfortunately, the lock on the lid to said processor broke and can't get new bowls to fit anymore but it still worked and came from Japan no less. I know the date due to it's printed on the little booklet it came with from the factory. I have it's latest iteration of that same model now in my kitchen and the new bowls don't fit the older models.
I did briefly had an Omni Chef, came from dear friends and one day, I broke the grater disk trying to grate parm cheese when it was still too chilled and broke the shredder and no parts for those so it went bye bye and I not too long afterwards got the Cuisinart. I use it at least once a week to make pizza dough. :-)
Our Waring Behive operates as perfectly as new and we love it!
God I miss you guys!
What a wonderful collection!
please make green goddess dressing on your upcoming video.....was my favorite as a kid, but I have no idea how it's made. I have a yellow beehive blender with only the on/off switch like you showed in the early part of this video......still use it today.....still very powerful!!!!! This was fun......Ralph, you crack me up......Thanks guys!!!!!
Hi, fabulous video, thanks. We live as you know in Palm Springs, and one of the streets here is Fred Waring Dr. We have a modern blender at our outdoor tiki bar. The other is a Sunbeam Mixmaster attachment that no longer works. I'm excited to see your salad dressing video when it's ready. I always make homemade, and currently using a batch of Clear French Dressing from the George Diamond Steak House chain from Chicago. There was one here in PS for a bit, but failed. The building was it's only hotel in the chain has been repurposed. The French Dressing is orange, not at all clear, and looks, and tastes like the orange Kraft bottled dressing without all the chemicals, it's very good. One of their other dressings was Diamond Cream, no known recipes have been found. I have a bunch of fave home made dressing such as Catalina, Poppy Seed, Charter House Blue Cheese is a fave from that chain. Thanks for all the time, you guys put into making videos.Tell Ralph we make his Salsa recipe a lot from backyard chili peppers I grow here. My husband John often sits on our Costco step stool chair in the kitchen to watch me cook, and asks questions about what I am doing...I more often than not say, " That's a good question Ralph." We love your videos.
We still have our Oster...I didn't know about the Mason jar... I'm going to blow my mother's mind... she's 90!😂
LOL! Well it's never too late to find out something new - thanks for watching!
hahaha! When I met my late wife 24 years ago she had never realized the base could be screwed off either 😆 I learned about it NOT from my mother's who's 95 and didn't know either but because I was looking for an easier way to make salad dressings and got a special jar for it, until I realized that I could have simply used a mason jar on it after realizing their lids fit perfectly!
I'm 80 and have mine and I didn't know about this either!!
My mom always use Oster brand blenders. Hey, do have vintage toasters? Yes, I would like to see salad dressing recipes!
My parents have had the same oster brand blender (I believe to be an early 80's model) since before I was born. My whole childhood, we used that blender. I remember making milkshakes in it 20 years ago. Im 25 now. They still have that same blender lmao. It still works fine. I plan to offer them some money for it. Or maybe trade something. I collect antiques. I have older blenders. None of that means shit though, compared to the sentimental value of that blender that literally appears in some of my earliest memories.
You will have to make sure that you add that Oster blender that your parents have to your collection someday - especially since it was part of your growing up. Thanks.
I have a brand new ronson from 1968 that I just took out if the box and it cooks too .
Bronson1886 - that Ronson blender you have is an excellent machine! How great to have found one that was never used! Enjoy - and thanks for watching!
HI GUYS SO HAPPY YOUR BACK. THANKS FOR THE TOUR.
My grandmother used to own a vintage 1970’s Osterizer blender in avocado.
She used to make sweet potato pies with it along with her 1993 KitchenAid Hand Mixer. Im am very leery of vintage small kitchen appliances but I kinda wish she still had that blender today.
@@enokii older ladies always seem to have fire recipes lmao
I have an Oster blender from the 1970s, I think. It was in my husband’s family. Glass carafe and works fine. I never realized that it would fit a mason jar.
Hi Laura - that old Oster blender should last forever! Thanks for watching!
Love it. Brings back such wonderful memories!
Thank you my new friend, to share this lovely collection!
Hi Bruno Zero Oito! You're welcome - glad you enjoyed the blender collection and thanks for watching!
This show is so interesting 😊
I had no idea blenders went back so far, but not surprised. I saw my first blender in a home in the mid 70s. A lot of appliances like that were not used in normal homes , but in upper middle class or rich homes. Most people could not afford them.
Another example. Up until the 70s only knew one person with a dishwasher. They were rich.
If you buy a little plastic dressing cup it will fit in the top hole of the plender. Drill a small hole in it. Perfect for making mayonnaise. Many people are making their own now to avoid cancer causing seed oils.
Wow, I assumed you weren't posting videos and there are a bunch to watch. Thank you, and I thought I had a lot of blenders... little did I know.
LOL! Amazing how many blenders I picked up over the years! They're fun to use!
Thank you for the time and effort you two put into this video. I found it interesting. As Usual, well done fellas! Nana C
You're welcome, Nana C! This was a fun video to do!
What a neat episode! Ralph, my nephew made homemade salsa in dad's avocado green Sear's Best/Oster blender. Dad loved that blender. Showed me how to make powdered sugar, dressings, daiquiris, chop veggies, etc. Lasted yrs.
We had the booster blender with the buttons
After our Cuisinart bit the dust a few years ago, I borrowed a friend's Osterizer 16-speed from the 1970's for a while. Last year, I sprung for a vintage Osterizer Pulse-Matic 16 speed, and other than having to replace the gasket, it works perfectly! I refer to it as the Old Warrior, and I think it's from about 1972 (it's black and chrome with blue, black, and orange buttons, and 1000 watts). My mom had an Osterizer 10-speed Cycle Blend for years, and my brother has an Osterizer Marquis from 1968 that he'd bought for my mom to replace that. After my mom passed away in 2016, he took it with him and still uses it. Old Osterizer blenders are BEASTS; they don't make them like that anymore!
Hi Carla! Your Osterizer Pulse-Matic 16 is a terrific blender and it was made when they were still using heavy, quality components in their products. It should last you many years - glad to know you are using it and enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
I inherited a blender from a 98 year old lady, and I can’t find it online anywhere. It’s an Oster Marlizer all stainless steel. I see the vintage base on a few websites, but not the graduates stainless steel top part.
I have a Osterizer Galaxy pluse matic dual range in chrome an avocado green. I love it. It's built like a tank!
Me, too!
@@MrZanjoker cool!
@@barberjeff67 Only problem is, it has been boxed for many years. but only used a few times. It won't turn on, so have been watching YT videos to find out how to fix. Looks like the drive is the issue. Can't find any appliance shop that will fix it. Thanks for responding.
@@MrZanjoker oof, sorry. I hope you can get it fixed!
I have that exact Osterizer beehive blender in off white! It literally has on or off...that thing is a beast!! I bet that thing could puree a rock! It looks and runs like new...and I paid $12 for it at a flea market
Hi Kevin! You've got a good blender there! It will last forever..and you got a good deal on it!
@@cavalcadeoffood oh I love it!!! Because of your channel I bought a Westinghouse roaster oven from1954 and a Westinghouse cooker fryer from1958. Both all original with even the original manuals! And a dormeyer mixer I just bought yesterday at a flea market also all original! Downside is it’s missing the cap that covers the gears when you take out the meat grinder attachment. Can’t find one anywhere! Ugh.. but your channel has definitely made me a vintage appliance connoisseur!!’ Will never buy new again!
@@QueenCityHistory Hi Kevin! Sorry if I got you hooked on vintage appliances, but I know you'll enjoy the great style and quality of these wonderful appliances! A cap for that Dormeyer may turn up one day! Glad to know you use and enjoy them! Thanks!
I've always liked the push-button blenders. I actually got a 1970s Hamilton Beach 14 speed push button blender the other day. Normally I wouldn't pay $24 for an old blender but this one was unusually clean for this thrift shop and it worked when I plugged it in. I know it will help perform any modern blender in that price range.
Hi Robert! At $24, that HB blender will perform better than most blenders built today, so it's a good value. Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood It definitely has plenty of power. I've been milkshakes and smoothies in it. The smoothies had both freshand frozen fruit.
So happy to you guys back, it made my evening 🍹🍸
Hi Joan - we are glad to be back! Thanks for watching!
Was researching blenders to see what was recommended for smoothies. Ran across this and now I think I’ll give my old Oster from ‘76 a go at it. Haven’t used it in 13 years since last making margaritas! Thanks for the info re: mason jars fitting them!
Hi Kathy! Yes, get out your trusty old Oster blender and make up some smoothies! Glad you found us!
I loved this video. My mother had the wood grain Oster. I always wondered why they had the cap in the middle of the lid. I hope you do a video on coffee pots. I saw a photo of a stovetop coffee pot on FB with filter. No one knew what the basket/filter was for. Younger people thought it was a coffee grinder. TY
Hi Eileen - I'll have to do a coffee pot video in the future. Thanks!
I have the oyster grain I'm wondering if it would crush ice to make a flurry. What do you think?
Yes, I do have that Hamilton Beach that you recommended. It is a powerhouse. Mine is chrome metal and weighs a ton. That Labell (sp?) is cool along with the Ronson.
Thanks, bg147! You've got a good blender in your Hamilton Beach!
Le Belle Silver Company did make coffee percolators. I have one from the 40's. Didn't know they made blenders. On my wish list now.
I think I have a Le Belle coffee pot somewhere. I don't think they made blenders for very long. Thanks!
I have one as well, late 50's or early 60's. All aluminum, and very, very large. It takes a long time to make coffee. There is a small red light on the front, and black curvy handles on the sides. It has a large glass knob on the top, it looks the same as all of the other Labelle percolators I've seen on the internet. The small black handle on the front to pour your coffee is broken off unfortunately. When I can.. (and if I remember to), I'll share the model number and electrical info on it.
I just got an Osterizer Galaxy blender. The pitcher fits right into the Oster Kitchen Center motor base. They both have the square 1/4 inch Oster shaft system with the two plastic tabs sticking up on either side of the "crater".
Thanks, Mike! And any Oster blender will also work with a standard Mason jar - the collar of the blade assembly was made to fit on a Mason jar. Thanks!
My mom had the beehive Oster chrome ..I still have it. She would squeeze crush up tomatoes for sauce and my father would make whiskey sours back in the day.
Hi Robert - those were very well made blenders. I'll bet your dad's whiskey sours were great!
@@cavalcadeoffood yes Kevin they were awesome
My dad made the most wicked Daiquiri’s in a toggle switch beehive Osterizer , they were the best. That blender lasted forever, it was my grandmother’s.
Those old Oster blenders were well made!
Cindy here, yesssss the blender behind the bar whipping up those sweet concoctions LMAO
Excellent advise, really the only vid out there as in-depth for this model. I’d be interested to know why my inner blades are loose but the coupling below is fine.
Thanks, Mike! Hmmm - not sure why your blades are loose.
Very Nice. I did, once upon a time, have an Oster. Ya'll should be making Whiskey Sours in one of those bad boys! Ha Ha
mmmmmmm...whiskey sours.....lol
i have a vintage vita mix that the base almost resembles a chrome toaster.
Hi James! I've seen those old Vita Mix blenders - really nice looking with all that chrome. Enjoy!
I got the Hamilton Beach Cook Book with piano key buttons yesterday. Also got a Vita Mix 3600 with Action Dome lid last week. I might make my own tamper for the Vita Mix.
Hi Mike - that Vita Mix will take care of just about anything. A very powerful motor!
I have an Osterizer 403 (the one with the big motor whose bushings can be actually oiled) on which the only missing thing is the speed plate (the silk screened "Deluxe Lo Hi" markings washed away when I cleaned it for the first time 😩) and it's by far the best blender I ever had, better than the previous plasticky blender my wife had from her first marriage back in the late 60s and better than the other vintage blenders I acquired afterwards, a Waring Blendor and a Mark 20 Vitamix of that same era that are beautiful but not nearly as nice to use. In the 10-15 years we've had it, after I replaced the drive and blade on it and oiled the motor when I first acquired it, my wife used that machine every day making shakes and I used it for her when she got sick right until the last few days of her life when she couldn't eat anymore 😢. This machine has seen it all and contrarily to the old plasticky one that died from trying to grind too much ice one day, that old one never skipped a beat doing the same and I still use it for salad dressings and the occasional soup.
One piece of advice I would give new users is to avoid putting the metal base in the dishwasher, ours had always been grey so it didn't matter, because dishwasher soap attacks that metal and will turn it dull grey. You also want to keep the detergent from starving the oil in the blade bushing. The easiest way to clean it is to simply use the belnder with a LITTLE bit of dish soap and hot water 😉
By the way, love the high ceiling of your kitchen, is that a vintage home as well? 🙂
Hi JohnnyJim J! Excellent advice on washing the metal parts of the blender. The dishwasher is very hard on these parts and they are best washed by hand or hot water and soap in the blender. The kitchen studio is in an old commercial building, which is why it has the high ceiling. Thanks!
I have a beehive, and I also still have my original Oster from the 1960s. I've got a Blendtec and some others as well.
Hi Daphne - you've got some classic blenders! Thanks!
I believe the super powered Vita-Mix came out in the 60s, the "Sidewinder" with the Black&Decker saw motor that you reverse the thing at full speed, puts on quite a show with blue sparks and all. I've heard from my friend Hans that Ronson made a monster of a blender too.
Thanks. Yes, the Ronson blenders were quite powerful!
Genio, tienes una gran coleccion.. yo tambien tengo algunos de tus modelos .. buen video.
Thank you so much for watching!
Very nice. I have 2 model 10's, a painted white, and a chrome, a model 540, and a 412 on the way. I admit, Oster is my "go to" in blenders. I've had a couple of Warings, a Dormyer, and a Kenmore all of which had the "Waring type" bottoms and all leaked haha. Great video!
Hi EE - I think Oster is probably the best overall blender (among the vintage ones I have). Generally, they are powerful enough for most jobs, and fairly easy to clean. I also like how the blade and collar fit any standard Mason jar. Thanks!
We had a blender back in the '70's...an Oster I think, but I can't ever remember using it but one time and it made such a mess we never used it again and have never owned another one since.
Now I totally have blender, I mean blendor envy !!!!!!
LOL! Glad you liked the showing of bleders/blendors!!
hi kevin i love your channel just chking out your blenders i found 1 in a barn sale here in town and got it home and its a oster galaxy - glass container and kinda cream/wood colored push button panel chrome sides. it was frzen. but i loaded the 3n1 oil and wd 40 to it..and rinsed and washed over and over!! to make SURE there wsnt going to be any mechancs oil going into the food;];];] i love mine !!
Hi Patty! Your "new" Oster Galaxy is a good blender. They can get stuck after sitting for many years without use - sounds like you got yours back in service! Enjoy it! Thanks!
I love blenders!!!
Me too, Adeline! Thanks!
I RECALL haveing a sunbeam vista i think it was from the 60s i dont know when they come out with the vista line . sunbeam had good things had style back then you dont see that today
Hi Gary! If you had a Sunbeam Vista it was probably from the 60's. Most of Sunbeam's product line was good quality and well built and they did have great style! Thanks!
You are great teacher
Thank you, Trudy!
Whoa I didn’t know that the blender you are working on I have it
I bought a new blender, but it will not blend anything unless it has 2 cups of liquid in it. My old blender could be used to make small batches of pesto sauce with huge handfuls of basil leaves, less than a cup of oil, some pecans and some garlic and parmasan cheese. Every time I use my new blender I get so angry because it is completely useless with less than 2 cups of liquid.
Probably because the jar is too big and the blade has too many cutters (used to be 4 now it's 6 or more). The newer model are larger probably because people are bigger. Have you tried using a one cup mason jar instead?
these are cool
Thanks! Glad you like the vintage blenders!
I have a Waring Aristocrat (beehive chrome and clover shaped glass) Blendor with low, medium, and high (only off and hi labeled) on the black plastic switch. It has a black rubber lid with a clear plastic removable measuring top. I’m curious if it is 1940s, 50s, or 60s. The glass is ribbed half way up to a swirl where there are no ribs the rest of the way to the top. Even the handle is glass. It’s pretty. I have a 1961 copy of The Blender Cookbook with a picture on the sleeve of a Waring Blendor like yours with the fully ribbed glass and black plastic handle and red piece on the corner of the handle.
Hi Anna - not sure what period your Waring might be from. They made that model for a number of years. They are very good machines. Thanks!
Shetland, I know them from vacuum cleaners, definitely made cheap chintzy vacuums too.
Thanks, compactc9. It's a brand you don't see often. I'm guessing they were sold at discount stores.
I just put the finishing touches on my latest eBay purchase. A Hamilton Beach model 5 Liqui blender in the white painted version. 350 watt motor and I think they came out in the 1940s. Your chrome HB Liqui blender, is it a model 6C? It's very much like my model 5. Great collection you have!
Thanks, Keith! Yes, I'm pretty sure that HB in my collection is a 6C. Enjoy your model 5!
OMG, it goes up to 11. :)
I have one of the Osterizer beehive blenders and it works amazing. It needs a new gasket though. Do you know where I could find one?
Hi Elyssa! These gaskets are available on Amazon - just search "Oster blender gasket o-ring" and they will come up. They are not expensive and easy to replace. Enjoy your Osterizer beehive - they are great blenders!
I saw a blender in a thrift shop today that looked like the last one but it had a heating element so you could heat the food while you blend it. I forget the brand. Might be nice for coffee drinks or soups I didn't get it because I eat mostly raw so i was looking for a smoothie blender.
Hi Barbara! I don't know that I've seen one with heat - but it would be great for making soups! Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood I contacted the second hand store and asked for the brand. They told me it is a Ronson 10 speed blender cook and stir. hb-1
@@barbaraferron7994 It was the first blender that cooked as it blended. It said it could be used to make popcorn, not sure how well that turned out.
1950s Vintage Osterizer Cyclomatic Dual Range Blender Model 678A will the glass container from the Vintage Oster Beehive Blender Chrome Model 235 fit on it?
Hi MM - I'm not sure. The collars that fit on the bottom of the containers might be different.
I know this is a hail mary, but does anyone happen to have a Hamilton Beach Model # 8 blender manual? I'm trying to find out how to oil it properly/perform preventative maintenance but I can't find the right search terms to find information on it.
Hi Aiden! The HB model 8 is sometimes called a "Cookbook Blender" and it has a very small hole marked "oil" in the top next to the turning gear for the blade. Does this sound like yours? It really depends how much you use the blender. With average use, a couple of drops of light machine oil (use 3-in-1 oil or sewing machine oil) every six months should be enough. If you use you blender a lot, you may want to oil it more often, but two of three drops should be fine.
@@cavalcadeoffood Holy smokes! That's exactly it - thank you for your response, I'll be sure to use that kind of oil. Thank you so much!
I gave you your 69th thumb up! ;-)
Another excellent display of history!
Hi! how do you replace a blade on a vintage waring 51bl23 can you make a short video :D please or do you have a video....
Hi Rebecca - sorry, this is something I've never done or needed to do. It looks like there are a number of UA-cam videos that are about replacing the blade on a Waring blender - maybe one will be helpful? Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood thank you!
Do you still have the special wrench needed?
Which blender rotate clockwise if you look from above ? Thank you
I'm not sure but I think most of them do. Thanks!
on the cookbook blender, what are the difference between the pushbuttons and the one that just slides for power? do you know if they have the same power? nice job
Hi - the blenders are pretty much the same, they just changed the controls. This was their way of updating the new models. Thanks for watching!
@@cavalcadeoffood ty so much, do you know what date they made the slide for power or basically how old is it?
Hi! Today I got a Hamilton Beach Scovill Insta Blend 14 Speed. It is almond color with brown lid and glass jar. Haven't used it yet, but did plug it in before buying and it does work. Can you tell me anything about it, such as age and power? Thanks for your time.
Hi BrownSuga66! Hamilton Beach made these blenders for a number of years starting in the mid-70's, and over time were available in white, avocado, gold and almond. Given the color of yours, it is likely from the late70's or early 80's when almond was an on-trend color. If you look at the bottom of the blender, it should be imprinted with the wattage. Enjoy your blender!
@@cavalcadeoffood thank you so much for your quick response oh, yes I think you are correct because it matches my same brand drinkmaster. I didn't think about that until I had them side by side.
Just a small correction, sorry if that is irritating, but for those not familiar with these company names: I hear you constantly referring in several episodes to "Montgomery-WardS": to make it clear for everyone, there should be no "s" at the end: so, Montgomery Ward.
Hi Benoit! Thanks for this. From the late 1950's though the 1980's, the Montgomery Ward Company often used signage on it's buildings or in it's ads that simply said, "Wards." Often they would not use "Montgomery." The company was headquartered in Chicago, and it was very common among those of us in the Midwest US to just say "Wards," although grammatically it should be "Ward's." Funny how it was not unusual to here people say "KMart's" and "WalMarts." So while the name of the store was Montgomery Ward, my family called it Wards. Now I find myself saying Montgomery Wards, which combines the two, but it is not the correct name of the company. Thanks for pointing it out!
@@cavalcadeoffoodyeah in the Midwest I’ve heard something similar with Aldi. some call it aldis
Hello everybody, i just bought a vintage Waring Futura 1000 Solid State blender. There's a hole next to the turning gear for the blade. Is it to put oil in the hole ? If yes, what kind of oil
Yes, that is a hole for oil. Use a very lightweight oil like sewing machine oil or 3-in-1 household oil. You only need to put in a couple of drops.
@@cavalcadeoffood thank you very much for your help.
Where is the old metal vita mix blender I bet you don’t have one of those
Hi Pat - yes, I have an old metal Vita Mix 3600 - it's a great blender and very powerful. Didn't have enough time or room to show them all!
I've actually never owned a blender. I used one once and made a mess.
Hi Tommy - blenders are very good kitchen tools, but they can be messy! Thanks!
You are not missing anything!
