I live in Dayton Ohio just south of Greenville Ohio where the headquarters of Kitchen Aide is located.....They use to have a Kitchen Aide Store there and had amazing discounts in the summer during Annie Oakley Days......I bought some mixers there for gifts....Oh, they use to also have Julia Child's mixer encased in the museum there too.

Anyways, I bought one used in Dayton/Centerville at a garage sale from an 85 year old woman in late 90's........she bought it in the 60's....I still have mine today and yes, new replacement attachments fit. I call my mixer Martha...she is eyed by all....magnificent machine...

Oh...may I add...it is a Hobart Kitchen aide....made back when the factory was down the road so to speak in Troy Ohio...age marker notes the generation made...yea, it is old.
