Making A Smoothie In The 1970's Osterizer Imperial Cycle-Blend Pulse-matic 7 speed Blender

Today, I made another Banana Split Smoothie, this time in my late 1970's Osterizer Imperial pulse-matic cycle-blend blender. It turned out great, although the brand new (after market) blade assembly leaks. I plan on finally settling the debate of Oster/Sunbeam V.S. Waring by filming a video of both blending together in the next week or so, so stay tuned for that. About the machine: Make: Osterizer (Sunbeam) Model (service no.): 890-16H Serial: N/A I purchased this blender at goodwill a little less than 3 years ago at a local Goodwill for exactly $2.10. It appears to be one of the last of the American-made Oster/Sunbeam blenders. Another point of interest is that it has the pulse function on separate buttons, unlike Waring who used the same buttons for both regular and pulse on their machines (my Waring doesn't have that function). I initially bought it for paper making, and it worked great for that. Then, I stopped making paper, and had no use for it. I then decided to put it into food service alongside my Waring Futura blender (after replacing the old plastic jar with a glass jar, and changing all of the jar-related components out). I haven't really noticed a difference in the blending performance of the two, although this is the first time I've used this one for food. Overall, I think that this blender has about the same build quality and performance as the Waring.
