My Cuisinart DLC-8 gave up the ghost -- literally. After I finished
grating, while it was off, it began to smoke. I pulled the plug, but the
windings are too burnt to consider a repair.

It owes me nothing. I bought it new around 1975. A new replacement
(temporarily out of stock) costs $80 plus shipping. I have a bid in at
eBay for a used one plus $20 shipping. We'll see what happens.
