Thanks (!!) for the link to a source for parts. My Cuisinart (1979) is
working well but wear and tear has to catch up sometime. With this model
each blade has its own shaft. Takes up more storage space but seems to
be stronger. Also have a mini Cuisinart, maybe 10-15 years newer, which
is terrific for mincing garlic and making salad dressings, crumbs and
anything in really small batches. jan
