In an unfortunate accident my mother's almost 60 year Osterizer was wrecked yesterday. A couple weeks back I lost a lid to one of my Yeti cups and somehow it ended up inside the blender. The wife went to make some strawberry mudslides and didn't see or expect that the lid was in there and by the time knob was turned to high snap went the motor shaft. What really kills me is that the blender was the only thing I kept that was my mothers. And all this happens not to long after I shattered the glass bottom to my father's antique Armenian hookah that made it all the from Armenia with my grand parents after the first Turk foray into the country in the late 1890s.

Needless to say I'm none to happy about any of this but what are you gonna do? Blender parts are know where to be found so I went and looked at what ATK recommends as the best inexpensive blender and ended going with the Black and Decker Quiet Blender for now until I can decide on a permanent replacement. The hookah jar is simply irreplaceable.😥
 
Sorry you lost the family items like that. For a blender if you want to buy once and have an incredible machine I highly recommend a Vitamix. They are too notch and super powerful. They would likely blend a lid like that into micro pieces they are so powerful. I have the Explorian model and it's just amazing.

You sure about that ? This stuff usually has a big following for restoring and keeping family memories alive .
I was doing a 1940's Dormeyer stand mixer that was my Grandma's . All kinds of stuff out there .
Does yours look like this ?
This one is around 40 years old . I just looked up a rebuild kit for it .

This is a link to one of the kits . They have others .
Maybe yours is older .

 
Hard to lose old family heirlooms. Sorry to hear.

Rich, That looks exactly like my blender. My wife keeps trying to make me get rid of it, but thats not happening. I grew up with it, it must be 50+ years old. I found parts for it when I lost the gasket and I think I blended the clear top making cocktails once.
 
so i guess im not that weird. lol i have a few old kitchen appliances from my childhood and cherish them.

Ha! My grandmother had one like that, too. I think it was the only "newfangled" gadget she kept in her kitchen. She did everything else by hand.
