Vintage Prince Castle Multimixer 5 Spindle Shake Machine
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:24215117 |
I have a Vintage Prince Castle Multimixer 5 Spindle Shake and malt Maxine for sale. This is an as is barn find at an estate sale in Whitesboro, Texas. This is a Model 9B. The serial number is 70873. When we found it, it was filthy and the cord was merely the shredded remnants of the original. So we took it apart and cleaned every bolt and nut and surface that we could. We also lubricated every part that we could as well. Included are pics of the bottom bracket nuts and bolts before we ...cleaned them and after to show just how hard we worked to restore it to its original glory. Using the wiring diagram on the inside of the machine on the bottom of the GE motor, we were able to connect a new three-prong plug. Also included is a pic of the top of the mechanism before we cleaned it and after. The agitation is caused by placing a chrome shake cup into the metal agitation trigger. You will notice on the pictures that two of those triggers are missing. They were not on the machine when we found it. But after working on the machine three of them work well now. I included a photo of an actual chocolate shake I made. You will be receiving a vintage chrome metal shake cup as well. It was laying beside the machine. We cleaned that thoroughly for you as well. You will note on the bottom of the vintage chrome cup reads: AW MM-100. Once we got the machine working again it made a high pitched squeal. The main rotor was positioned too low and to remedy it we simply removed the two small screws on the back of the housing near the top to remove the top chrome lid. Then we loosened the large center housing nut, pulled up the rotor just a bit and retightened that large housing nut. Now it is running smoothly and makes a fantastic shake! Again three of the agitation spindles work well, two will need new agitation triggers. Make three shakes at one time and take your friends and family back in time with this beautiful piece of vintage Americana machinery. The machine was made by the Prince Castle company in Sterling, Illinois. in the USA.
