Expanding article
I've just moved things around a bit and sectionalised. Apologies to whoever's text I've hacked, I've tried to make best use of what was in there. I've also set up a redirect for Kenwood Major.

Please could somebody check my facts, in particular about when the transition from slotted to bayonet shaft was made and how long there's been a medium-speed outlet on the top. I'll try to organise some sketches for the shaft and hub types, but I'm no CAD or graphics guru.

It would be nice to get in a comprehensive table of accessories and possibly compatibility. I can't do this by myself. MarkMLl (talk) 10:44, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Ken Grange
No mention of Kenneth Grange, designer of the A701? Johnalexwood (talk) 11:28, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Kenwood Chefette
I think the current article is incorrect when it states the Chefette has a power driven bowl. IIRC the bowl turned through movement of the beaters against the bowl, rather than through a spindle turning the bowl. Can anyone who owns a Chefette confirm this?

 * Any bowl-turning on my elderly Chefette has to be done by hand. AFAIK it's always been like that though as it dates back to the early 1970s (if not even older) something might be b0rked. Mr Larrington (talk) 19:50, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

NOTE from New Zealand....

In case it's any help to anyone, we have just purchased a second hand A703C, which I understand is an Australian version of the A701C. Anyway, this article says "electronic speed control", but having taken mine apart to clean and check, the motor speed control still has what appears to be centrifugal contacts, with some electronic components, including what looks like an SCR (not checked), so control may well be a centrifugally triggered SCR setup....(Why ?? Radio noise ??)

Confirm our 703c has the circlip+bayonet type attachments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.47.177 (talk) 19:49, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
