Ditto on my DLC-7. But the bowl and feed tube both started going on
mine a couple of years ago. When I could no longer ignore the
damage, I priced replacement parts and was looking at around $75-80
to buy from a place I was comfortable with. Then I was in Goodwill
one day and they had one in its box, looking like it had been used
fewer times than I have fingers on one hand. $14.99. Yoink! The
base/motor awaits the day my original does the big firework --
whatever decade that will be.
