Hello.
Over the Christmas holidays, I was speaking to my great-grandparents who mentioned that they had an old Kenwood mixer in their loft, and they wanted to know if I wanted it. I said yes, of course, so I am now the proud owner of a Kenwood Chef A701A, which dates from approximately 1968. I believe this model is quite common as there are plenty and plenty of spares and attachments on eBay. My mum says she remembers using it as a child. My great-grandfather told me that he had won it through his work in 1968, and that it had not been used for at least 20 years. He had said that the last time he used it, it was making some bad noises, and when he gave it to me yesterday, he mentioned something about something needing oiling. It has the balloon whisk, 'K' beater & the ceramic bowl. The cover for the hole to attach attachments is missing, as I expect that an attachment was used and the cover not put back. It also comes with a leaflet - not a manual however, though it appears to be straightforward to use, but I have not yet tried it. I cleaned it up today as bad snow has shut my school. It now looks a bit better, as being stored for years meant it had become a littly grubby.
Anyway, I come here for advice on repairing - any will be great!
Sorry for boring you!
