I have one of these:

Its a mixer, think its from the 70s or 80s. Anyway it gives off a kind of burning smell when I use it, its not used often. Google says thats normal for old motors or moving parts that havent been used in a while... what say you ATOT?

I remember those! Awesome. Use it. I'm sure its fine as long as the mixers are clean.

In the shower but only while it's running.

When they made appliances that lasted. My last one, rarely use, crapped out after less than a year.

Use it, its the old oil that stinks. I have power drills from the 60s that spark and stink but still work.
