Here are some pics of a Hobart C-10 we got at a flea market a few months back. We were fortunate in that it was in rough shape, but only $35.00. Actually, it only needed some TLC as it was remarkably complete, and functions well. We have ordered a new paddle, hook and whisk for it, though it came with and original paddle, and will have about $200 in it. Its heavy, right at 90 lbs, so its not something to move around the kitchen a lot.
It is great to see someone breath new life into these older machines.
I know this is an old thread, but I only found this today. First I love the restoration job you did, keeping it the original Gray was nice. I'm very curious though how did you find or where did you find that stainless steel trimmering that goes around the planetary mechanism. I noticed was missing in the first picture and it's in the restoration photo after that. Did not come with it or was it just not on in the picture and it was being cleaned up someplace else. Because that's something having trouble sourcing us a mixer I'm looking at is missing that piece. I'm not even sure what it looks like if I can recreate it. Is it curved is it just the stainless steel ring is it a plate does it have cutouts on it. Things like that but if it's something that you know where I could buy it that's different.
Also searching for the stainless ring that seats around the planetary mech.
Any leads?
I still haven't found it. I did however see somebody selling a c210 that's basically the same mixer. I noticed that it had a white ring instead of stainless steel and when I read the description it mentioned that it had a plastic collar that he had 3D printed from PVC because the original one was too far gone with rust when he did the restoration of the machine. I tried contacting them saying that although I wasn't interested in purchasing the machine because they were asking a lot, I wanted to know if he could help with the possibility of the 3D file for the collar. He just responded with "make me an offer on the machine." That pretty much summed it up.
Danny, was it Nikolas that you contacted about printing the part? He made them out of nylon and posted his email address on another thread that you contributed to here. He specifically offered help on the parts, didn't say he was selling the machine, so don't know if it was the same guy.
Have you tried the Mixer-Owners@groups.io forum? There may be a member that might be able to help you. I have only asked about Bosch Compact mixers.
