I was just looking up "hobart mixer n50" on eBay (completed listings
only), and they sell from 400 to just over 600. There is a really beat

top bid of slightly over $300. Obviously it will go for more.

Start at the Sally Anne. I would just find out how many $5 to $20 Sunbeam
mixmasters I could find there and at garage sales. The bowls get separated,
make sure you get as many as you can.
