Info on 1960's Sunbeam Coffeemaster vacuum coffee pot?

Question

I recently found at an auction a Sunbeam Coffeemaster vacuum coffee pot but the top and bottoms are stuck together. My dilemma is I cannot get them apart, does any one have experience with one of these coffee makers and getting them apart? I have some idea how it operates and I know they are supposed to make the best coffee but you cannot find them anymore. Also if anyone knows where to get gaskets . Thanks so much.

Answer 1

The only thing I can think of is to contact "Sunbeam" and see if they have an e-mail address or phone number you can call.
maybe they have a website.
Good luck
Hope
