My daughter and I recently rehabbed my late mother's 1960 era stand mixer that had not been serviced in the last ~60 years. The grease was like a rock, the mixer motor sounded like it was grinding rocks. A thorough clean and fresh grease should give it another 60 years of use.

 

I have my mother's Sunbeam Mixmaster, which I think is late 50s early 60s. She loved that thing and baking a Duncan Hines cake was child's play!  It's in storage, but I refuse to get rid of it. That and a Cuisinart from the following decade.  They really don't make 'em like they used to. What amazes me are the power cords they put on those things.
