Help! Where can I find the nutone food processor?

mareinmn · 12-18-2003, 05:01 AM

I know this is a woman thing here so bear with me.
We are full-timing now. it's great. But because of space and because it is really cool. I would like to have the nutone food processor that goes with our 34.5 Motorhome. I have the blender and mixer and knife sharpener, they work great. But I would really like the food processor. Does anyone have one they want to get rid of? Know where there is one for sale?
We called nutone and they don't make/have them any more.
Thanks Mareinmn, but really in Alabama for the winter

Try searching ebay for "nutone"- they always have parts available.

Marie:
Do you have a model number? I also have a Nutone, but I didn't know they made a food processor for it. I thought it probably pre-dated the food processor by about a decade.

Thanks Craig,
I should have thought of that earlier.
Don the NuTone Food Center is model 251 and they had if you can believe it, a meat grinder, fruit juicer,ice crusher, mixer, shredder-slicer, can opener, food processor, blender, and coffee grinder. Pretty amazing for 1985 isn't it. The blender is amazing and makes a mean mauguarita (sp) and I just used the mixer for the first time at Thanksgiving and it works just as well. Which is why I really would like the food processor.
ps I really think I should know you as we are from Plymouth,MN originally and both of us and our daughter went to Wayzata HS.

This is one small world

Here's a thread on the Nutone Food Center. I listed all the attachments available.

Marie:
They made these in 1985? I'm sure mine dates from 1972. That's why I questioned the 'food processor' attachment-didn't think they were widely used in the early 70's. Those were the days of the fondue pot.

Hey Fred,
It looks like you are sitting in our twin 34.5 Classic. Thanks for the link to Nu-Tone Archives.
As I am sitting here I just keep thinking how I love this Motorhome and full-timing in it is awesome. The only thing I could wish for is that the frame would support the Goldwing, we have already asked & the answer is no. But that's why we have the trailer. Choices and Priorities appear just when you want all the toys to come with you. I will justhave to settle for the bikes and kayaks this winter.
Chris keeps saying that if we keep looking for the food processor it will show up eventually. I will have to add ebay back into my internet time. It was so much easier at work when time didn't matter. Now that time is all ours it is more precious.

Thanks Again MareinMN,(actually Alabama this winter)

I did a Google search and it could be among these.

I came across a whole bunch of the Nutone accessories on ebay this morning:

Our vintage trailer didn't have this feature, but I know the later models did ~

Good luck if you decide to bid ~

P.S. I don't have anything to do with these auctions, just thought I'd pass along the info
