Well just like that it struck me to work my hex wrench under my disposal and now she’s whammin’ ‘n jammin’ away—I will have to call the appliance place and cancel the replacement…

I remember those
One place I lived had a plastic pocket stuck to the disposal and inside was the wrench. I actually needed to use it once and it worked perfect.

I would be interested in your 1988 WKSS5000 disposal!

Disposer use ..
I've done warranty and service with Alco Appliance, and on my own since 1995. Aside from a few design flaws which ISE corrected thru the years, bones, fruit pits, rinds, and ice cubes definitely reduce or eliminate any bad disposer breath u might be experiencing....all that debris flying around in the chamber acts like a toothbrush... scouring it away. The small amounts of oil n grease are great too, that keeps the seals lubricated, prolonging the life of the unit. Every time I go into a customer's home the first thing I'm greeted with is "Oh I never put anything in it I hardly use it at all!"
And then I ask them why do they have one... It's a small joke, but the worst thing anyone can do with these units is to not use them or not use them for what they were intended for..... I've rebuilt several models for our home and yes we're on septic.... I've put them through torture tests, as I've seen combo 52 do which is lots of fun. Spare ribs steak bones anything that will fit gets tossed into it.... And no we have had no major septic issues... Another mistake people make is to pour hot grease down these things with hot water.... Or to pour any grease through them at all...
Well builders models are okay to use, I agree with combo 52 purchase one with stainless steel shredder components... Do not expect any of the badger series to have a lifelonger than 5 to 7 years...
