I need some advice. Last month I asked on Facebook if anyone would be willing to let me use a food processor with a shredder attachment in exchange for some shredded zucchini. An acquaintance of mine said, "Sure, no problem, I'll bring it by tomorrow."
It's an old machine -- clearly older than the one I acquired in 1992. It worked just fine and I sent her off with a quart of shredded zucchini. She didn't have time to stick around while I cleaned up, but she said, "Keep it as long as you'd like. I only use it for shredding zucchini myself, and I don't have a garden this year."
I've had five monster zucchini awaiting their date with the machine, and today I pulled it out again so I could finish the job and give it back to its owner. About halfway through the first zucchini, the shaft snapped. It's completely unfixable.
Recently I tried to find a replacement shredder blade for my 2001 food processor, with no success at all. What are the odds that I'm going to find a replacement part for a 1985-ish machine? Approximately zero, I have to think. So what's the best way to handle it?
Ugh.
