Thanks, we got that one as a wedding gift in 2005, so they must have discontinued them since then. There's a pin that broke on the original, and I sent it back for another. The second time it sheared, I fixed it with a spring steel pin, and it's worked since.

I can't believe they're not available anymore. I found a couple places online with old stock. There's retro ones on ebay that are decorated for $$$

The one you have is a recreation of the original 1930's version. We had the 1930's version - as solid as a tank. Mom and dad have been using it for years (I gave it to them 10 years ago after using it for at least 10 years - and I picked it up at a resale shop). KitchenAid no longer makes them...

...and you're right - they're silly money on eBay. I think I paid $10 for mine when I first got it. BTW - I do see the shear pins and grinder blades for sale if you need to replace them.
