Advice required on servicing old A12 Sunbeam Mixmaster
Hi,
I would greatly appreciate someone advising me how to remove the front cover of my wife's vintage A12 Sunbeam Mixmaster (so I can pack some new grease around the gears).
Thanks for your reply.

Ahh, a bloke's first post. So it's appropriate that the advice given be appropriate. Use a hammer mate

Hi Jim and welcome to the forum
Don't know if its an A12 but if its like this one there should be a round gold coloured disk with an "S" on each end . Use a small flat screwdriver to gently pop these off and you should find a locking screw under each one ,
Where you go from there is up to you , sorry but I don't have the time to strip this one to see how it works,

The trouble with life is there's no background music.

I had a capacitor problem though
I had some trouble if I recall as well getting into it. I don't know exactly which end it was ??? sorry I've got a crap memory.......I managed to get into it finally by removing a metalic disk at one end.....it was pushed in....had to pick it out with a screwdriver I think.....behind the disk is a screw....have to get to that screw for it to come apart. Hard to get the disk out without damaging it.
hope I've given you something amongst all that raving....goodluck.

Ashore,
Thanks, that is exactly what I needed to know, The A12 has the same end caps. The model number is stamped on the mixer body where it connects to the stand.
Thanks again
Jim

Hi Apricotripper,
Thanks for the info. Ashore's earlier answer also supports the endcaps explanation. I owe you special thanks because my search engine found your original request for help on the sunbeam capacitor problem, and lead me to this interesting, useful and slightly strange "mens business" site.
Thanks again.
Jim

Hi All, This sounds all pretty weird, I have just joined this Forum to find out exactly how to do the repair to the mixmaster.
I googled mixmaster repair and got the original appricotripper thread.
And my name is Jim as well!
I think I will have a rum..... then later try to get the end cap off the mixmaster to get at the ..........thingys and stuff.....
Cheers,
Jim.
More rum......
