I would start over again from scratch...

Find a buddy w/ a CNC rig and machine a whole new set of legs out of titanium.
Then you can give it to the grandkids, and they can give it to their grandkids.
Or find a donor online... do it right if you really want to keep it.

A lot of older appliances, if repaired, will outlast the appliances you are tempted to replace them with.
My microwave lasted 27 years. My coffee maker is close to 30 also. My Cuisinart DLC-7 was made in '77, and my KitchenAid mixer was a wedding present to my parents in '59? Not sure how old my waffle iron is. But I did replace the cloth-insulated power cord, if that's a clue.
I have a FarberWare grill/rotisserie that is from the '60s.

Yep, me too. But some time you just have to reset the clock!
