Hobart Identification Help!
My dad recently purchased this Hobart A-200, plugged it in and had it running, for $200. I said get it! lol it doesn’t have many attachments with it, so I’ll need to fix it up and get those. The problem I’m having is that I cannot seem to find the ML# for this thing anywhere! I’m sure I can find attachments if I look hard enough, but now I’m curious. I’ll attach pictures of the machine and the plate, it looks to me like it says 27415? Can anyone help identify this thing? It’s going to keep me up at night lol

Can't help you with ML#
But it looks a fairly standard A200 with 1/3 hp.
Attachments - For attachments, you are looking for any items that fit a #12 attachment hub. This means you can't use any of large array of the Hobart N50 (kitchenaid) attachments, but it does open up the more industrial quality hub attachments.
Beaters - there should be a good array of beaters on ebay for this machine
Bowls - It is better to have more than one. Sadly I don't think there is a copper bowl in this size.
Thank you very much! Maybe this was a custom job? 🤷🏻♀️
I did notice on the plate that your machine's AMP rating is different to most I have seen. Most are 8.2amp (even for 1/3HP variants) and yours says 7.5 amp.
ALSO 2 things -
