Passing of an Era

So my mixer finally died. It's from the 70's and passed down from my grandmother to my mother, and my mother to me when I entered college. 

I'm sad to see it go, but it means I can get a new mixer, from this decade! 

I have my eye on this beauty. It's a KitchenAid 5 gallon mixer. Unfortunately I have to save up for the $280.00 gouge to my pocketbook.
