POSSIBLY, this would work; you'd have to find out the specific dimensions:

I owned an Oster Kitchen Center from 1981 until last year, when it wore
completely out. The gears were plastic and were no longer available for
repair. The plate shown is the inner plate, sort of a "pre-grind" plate.
The plates that go on the outside of that one and determine the cut of
the meat are the same as the ones you already own. I never tried to use
the pregrind plate to actually grind meat but it might be worth a try if
you're trying for larger diameter meat pieces. Try a thrift store, that
is where mine went and there were several others on the shelf with it.

Hated to give the old thing up, stronger motor than is on most mixers,
etc. today.

Unfortunately, the KA plates are 1-15/16 inches in diameter without the ears,
and the Oster plates are 2-1/8. I just found out the hard way (thank you, eBay!
