Hey Ladies I just read the post about everyone getting new KA's or new parts for theirs! I just wanted to let you all know I found this great dealer through ebay that carries KA parts for a reasonable price! I bought a new bowl flat beater and shield from them! All KA parts! Here is the link for you all
