OTOH, the Cuisinart food processor is threatening to die after a mere 30 years. Which I would NOT like, given that the newer ones are all plastic parts and this one has all metal in the important areas.

And, OMG, have you PRICED
good food processors lately? (If such a thing even exists...)
Worse, have you
looked at the quality? Yick. They are overpriced and the quality is utter crap. It's all made offshoe somewhere, all plastic and yup, I would expect their tools and bits and bobs would break in fact.
I know this because I have a very old Cuisinart, that's small capacity. We bought it when we resided in a smallish apartment and the cursed thing will NOT DIE. I really need a larger-capacity one (for which, BTW, I have zero space, I should add), but I can't rationalize to myself buying a new one when The Ancient One remains undying.
I also have a meat slicer quite literally from the 50's, (inherited from hubby's Grandmother), an electric waffle iron from the 1940's (not kidding) which Hubby uses and refuses to use a new one; The KA stand mixer (Odin Bless it). My InstaPot--love at first use. And all the usual Kitchen detritus, gizmos and gadgets. (sigh). But a proper Food processor? Gods forfend.
