Got this old coffee grinder from the 60s; it turns, but the blade won't turn, or loosely.
It's a Braun KSM1. Only have picrel, no box, no manual or accessories.
Bottom cover opens with two screws, but can't see how to get past that.

The motor is running, but the blade won't spin, right?

It kinda does, but irregularly/ at slow speed; won't engage properly.

Could be a loose cog spinning around its shaft

There's probably some sort of plastic clutch(used to prevent the motor from stalling) that has given up. Seeing that this was made in Spain, it's probably over 50 years old(nobody makes consumer appliances in the west anymore) and the plastic became brittle with age. You'll need to separate the motor and blades and look to 3D print your own clutch/slip plate/whatever.

The model itself is from the late 60s. It was bought around then or in the early 70s.
Plastic is sturdy and as good as new, not even yellowed (it was kept in the shade).
Not certain if anything broken at all or just loose. Parts will probably be easily sourced from China anyway.
Anyway just realized there's a bolt inside accessible through an opening in the bottom cover that the blade attaches to and was able to unscrew it. Still need to open the whole thing. I'm guessing the grey part detaches from the white one, but it hasn't budged yet.

It's actually a model CR1:

That kind of coffee grinder is shit anyway. Might as well throw your beans in a blender.

i get trying to fix things that sort of work, but i don't think a 60-year old coffee grinder is worth it. i wouldn't really want to drink coffee that was ground in it even if you got it to work.

I know lol just curiosity/nostalgia
Anyway, they're still selling it (ksm2/cr3), pretty much the same thing slightly redesigned

Do you live in Spain or somewhere with 220V?

What do you mean by "it turns but the blade won't turn"? As in, the motor will turn but the blade is detached?
>>

Close: Portugal
Motor spins ok, but blade kinda slips

>they're still selling it
I have a philips orange juicer that's probably older than me, made in romania. Apparently philips still carry this exact same model, just made in china now.

Just buy a new DC motor
