Mrs Dynoguy wanted a more powerful stand mixer as her cheapo tilt-head chinamix is not exactly designed for semi-commercial use.
So i looked around and found a KitchenAid 5KPM5 which is a bowl lift type stand mixer (made in USA), pretty much exactly what she was looking for.
As usual, i did not want to spend half a grand for the thing, so i opted for a gamble and bough a faulty one.
I think i was fairly lucky, apart from a few missing teeth and in desperate need of a thorough clean, the thing is in reasonable shape.
There is little wear on the internals, It almost looks like that it broke down rather early in it's life and then just sat there collecting grime.
Adding the cost for the new gear and some food safe grease it will still be less than what i paid for the chinamix some 5 years ago.
This part covers disassembly, inspection and identifying the faulty part.
part 2 is here youtu.be/RCJOlbxLHGA
showing re-assembly and test
