Oster Kitchen Center

[yogitunes]

they are all over ebay......prices vary.....and some attachments I never knew existed, I may had to add a few to my collection.....

you do know that these parts and heads are interchageable for most....I try to get everything in white, so I can mix/match any way I want....but you have to take what you can find.....I just found one on ebay in avocado....who knew?

Martin, all we have left

of the Regency we bought new in '74, almond color with the black face plate and 3 button with Speed Control knob, is the blender base and glass blender jar and lid, but we'd like to get the units needed to re-create the meat grinder feature - do they all interchange and what parts would we need exactly ? Don't need the mixer and other stuff as we got a HD KA model in the 80s and both large and small Cuisinarts, hence we jettisoned the rest of the Oster stuff.... dumb dumb dumb.

with the exception of the Euro models....all heads seem to interchange and fit one another....I have 6 and can change back and forth.....

your gonna need a mixer head for the grinder to function, making sure it has the open port on the back to accept a grinder attachment.....

heres a head to give you an idea.....

heres the grinder attachment......

you may want to consider buing a while complete unit....just compare cost back and forth with shipping and see what may be cheaper for you.....

yo may find once you get all these attachments, to start using them more than ever...

Nothing says "Vintage" like an avocado Regency setup!

Thanks Martin!

That avocado model is the exact one we have (in almond) with the sliding red bar indicator for the speed control knob... looking at all that I can't believe now that we cavalierly just threw out that stuff, including the mixer head and all the rest of the parts... what were we thinking??

I like that Avocado color, Martin - I never see these at the thrifts I visit - once only, as I mentioned above - your collection, again, is great.

Inherited this from the grandmother.  I remember when she got it, it was a gift.

The shredder appears to not been used.

The blender blade seal is missing.

The little knobby piece is missing from the beater release.

I cleaned it up and ran it briefly.  A screeching noise started after a minute or so.  Needs lubrication?  Bad brushes on the motor?

Oster kitchen center preferred model

Hello Everyone, any preferences re which model you like most? My mom had the model with the handle on top for easy moving (the crown regency). I am curious about model 5500; any thoughts re it’s durability, pros/cons when compared to the crown regency model?

This thread is ancient,but I'm looking for an Oster Kitchen Center. As Yogitunes kindly posted his collection, I assembled photos of what I think I would like. The newest one looks to be the modern, straight line machine with touch button controls. I'm guessing that they are all about the same, with attachments. Who uses these anymore; there's so many for sale on Ebay, but fewer of the ones I posted in photos here.

Brings back memories. My culinary arts classroom had a few of these that we used all the time. Unfortunately one died when a classmate dunked the entire machine into a sink full of water to clean it because she didn't know that you couldn't submerge an electrical appliance to clean it. God I hope she married rich.

Side note is that all the bowls and attachments were run through a KDI-17 after class.
