Thanks for posting the adventure.

We have a mixer my father bought way back in 90s when I was a kid. It still runs and it often requires repairs but it's easily done in 1-5 bucks most of the time.

TBH, India has such mechanical Aids almost everywhere. If you're living around a big town, you'll just find one in 1km radius and they'll repair most of the times as soon as you take to them.

Other than the mixer, I also have an old cassette player, a dvd player, our first colur television and a few others may be.
