I purchased a nice but ugly C100 for my girlfriend last year. Over the fall it got torn down and stripped to bare metal to be refinished. I decided early in the process that the old cord was a fire hazard and tossed it. Now I have the whole thing put back together but can't for the life of me remember how it was wired. doh!
Can any one shed some light on the proper wiring for a c100? I imagine it can't be too much different from any of the larger A series mixers either.
I've attached pictures of what I'm dealing with
but what a fantastic old machine! Any idea how old it is? From the color, I would guess 1950's. It certainly looks like it was made for a lifetime of service. Best of luck with the re-wiring. Happy Holidays! Embth
The machine is from either the 50's or more likely the early 60's. When I purchased it it was a drab grey with paint chips and dents everywhere. I took it down to bare metal, smoothed it out, and painted it with automotive basecoat/clearcoat so it should last for many many years. The color is off a 57 Chevy as we were trying to capture the look of that era.
I'm hoping someone out there has one or possiblely the more popular N50 as I think the wiring should be the same on all of them. Not much going on in there electrically.
find onesharpstore on the net. call the number they list one their home page. they may be able to help, especially if you send them your pictures. they helped me, a cheerfully.
Hello, not any electrical diagram found for the C100, but this one is taken from the hobart A200 service manual and may give you some inspiration :
In fact many intermediary connections may be made within the stator windings themselves. In this case, final connections are easy : just 2 wires coming from start winding (& centrifugal switch) which have to be connected to the capacitor, and main power wires connected in series with main on/off switch.
With Flormont's help I was able to piece together the wiring and get the old girl running again. Little video of it can be found here

It runs super smooth with no grinding, vibration, or other unwanted noises. It runs quieter than my old bowl lift Kitchaid
To 'mx6er2587' and the TFL members who helped with his project, my congratulations. I hope you have many years of bread making with your new "old mixer" humming happily away!
The TFL group is a great resource for us all. It is my first stop (and usually the last) for recipes and answers to bread baking questions. Reading past forum topics gives me answers to questions I did not know enough to ask. This is a wonderfully diverse group of bakers with a great depth of knowledge and talent literally at our fingertips. Thank you everyone for being part of this bread baking community and a Happy and Healthy 2015 to all. Embth
