On Thursday I got an email from the repairman at Casco Food Equipment
Service in Allenstown NH. He said the beater shaft was binding which he
removed, cleaned and greased. Blew some dust etc from motor but all in all
it was in good shape for its age. (like its owner?) It cost 35.00 plus
shipping. They shipped it out yesterday, the 10th and hopefully on Monday
it will be back. Thank you all for your advice which I will keep for the
next go around.
One benefit from this ordeal was that I rediscovered breadmaking by
hand. The trick I think is the hydration period after the ingredients are
initially mixed.
