Repair or replace food processor

[no_hypocrisy]

I inherited a nice big FP with attachments.

But a there's a notable chip in the plastic pole. The bowl still is secure but I'm concerned it won't stay this way indefinitely and the pole won't allow the bowl to be locked in place.

Can this be fixed or do I need to start saving for a new one?

1. Cuisinart brand?

You can get individual replacement parts from their website.

2. No unfortunately. Kitchenaid brand.

Plus the pole seems to be melded to the base/gear house. I think I'd have to take it to an appliance store (if they still exist.)

5. My experience with Kitchenaid appliances is they are good about supporting replacement parts

You might be able to find a parts breakdown diagram online. Some online appliance parts sellers are good about providing those.

3. Go Estate Sale looking

Estate sales are a great place to find kitchen equipment at bargain prices. It is my addiction! Made some great finds at estate sales.
