The AIB On-Line Auction is still in progress. In anyone is located within a reasonable driving distance to Manhattan, Kansas you might want to take a look at the equipment which is for sale which includes mixers (right now there is a Artofex Twin Arm Dough Mixer which emulates hand mixing with a $250.00 bid on it). There are also MANY 12 AND 20-quart Hobart mixers as well as larger mixers too. It looks like much of the pizza equipment is on pages 12 and 13 of the listing. To view the auction go to <www.equip-bid.com/auction 6096 (you may need to go into the current auctions to find it as I did). The auction closes on 11/25.

The auction closed this evening, Hobart N-50 mixers went for just over $500.00 each and Hobart A-120 mixers went for just a tad more. The Hobart HL-200 mixers went for around $3,000.00 each. Attachments for all sizes of mixers went REAL cheap as
did stacks of Lloyd Pans (many were brand new) which sell for $25 to $40.00 each. Hobart M-820 mixers went for about $5,000.00 each which is a real deal considering they were like new and that's what a used one (a well used one) was selling for 10-years ago. The Marsal deck oven went for about $1,800.00 and an XLT and Middleby-Marshall WoW (both air impingement ovens) went for a little over $3,000.00, not a bad price for low mileage ovens. Pizza tools like dockers, cutters, Equalizers, etc. were nearly give aways as they were sold in groups.
The end of a 100-year era!
