Repair is unlikely, although I'm checking. A gear has broken on the
shaft connecting the motor to the dough hook, so the shaft rotates and
pops out. Mfr. was Country Engineering in Wisconsin and they've been
gone for years. Cost 20+ years ago was $264 as it had demo'ed at
Organic Gardening kitchens. Probably made 2500-3000 loaves mostly for
family use.
