 While it's beautiful, that blender is also relatively rare. If you had a vintage Osterizer, there would be parts galore since they haven't changed their drive or blade design for several decades, and carafes are interchangeable.
I think eBay is your best option for GE parts. It would be worth the wait to get that blender functioning again. Meanwhile, if you use your blender a lot, you can hit up a thrift store and get something temporary and store it someplace where you don't have to look at it every day.

Your best bet is to buy a second blender for "parts", with the blade being the part your need. The chances of you finding just a replacement blade vs the whole blender will be difficult.

I have the blade assembly
Hello Kate,
I have several of the General Electric blade assemblies. I moved recently, and still have piles of boxes in the garage....so it may take me a few days to find my GE blender parts container. . Send me your address by private message and as soon as I locate the assembly I will mail it to you. Barry | ||

pics of assembly
Kate,
I found several blade assemblies, but this is the only one which did not have damage to the sprocket. There is just a touch of roughness on one of the blades. It won't hurt a thing, However, if you want to put your blades on the assembly, just loosen the nut on top and swap them out. As great as General Electric's blenders are, GE did not do one thing they should have....put a friction fit between the blender jar and the base (motor) unit. Notice when your blender jar sits on the base unit you can wobble it with your hand, compared to many other brands, such as Oster, Hamilton-Beech, etc., which have a plastic ring on the base and the motor unit, which holds it rock solid. That is why you see sprocket damage so often on the GE's as any tipping, however slight, of the jar while it is blending may disengage/engage the drive and put a little damage on the sprocket. (You will definitely hear it if you do this, you'll hear a metal to metal zipping sound.) If you decide to use a spoon to push down ingredients while blending, make sure you push down on the container to hold it as you do, so you do not inadvertently rock the container. Likewise if you put something in, such as hard frozen banana pieces, which might cause the container to move around while blending, just put your hand on top and hold it. GE used very strong belts. In all the years I have collected General Electric blenders I have only broken two belts. I make a lot of smoothies, never with ice which waters them down, but with solid frozen banana pieces. The blenders get a workout and the 50+ year old belts seem to have no problem with it. If you would, however, need a belt they are an 11 tpi (teeth per inch) timing belt available at McMaster-Carr Supply Company. Please send me your address by email, Kate, and I will try to get the assembly out to the Post Office tomorrow or Friday. Happy blending with your vintage GE blender! Barry | ||

rubber washers
Hi Kate,
There are two rubber washers used, one under the chrome lip of the blade assembly inside the blender jar, and one outside followed by the metal washer and then the large nut that holds it all together, in that order. I also included the nut with the braket to hold the bottom of the handle against the jar, if you need it. After fifty years of compression, the rubber washer inside the jar is resistant to coming out. If it is in good condition, just leave it alone and use it. Same with the other washers, I included them just incase you might need them now or in the future. Odds are you can just pull your old assembly out, place the replacement over the old internal rubber washer, and the put your rubber and metal washers on the bottom, and you'll be back in business in about two minutes! GE's rarely ever leak. BTW, if you are comfortable doing so, remove the bottom plate of the blender and lubricate the two motor bearings and your shaft that rotates the sprocket under the blender jar. I usually use a lightweight oil such as 3-in-1, or 3-in-1 motor oil. Happy blending! Barry | ||
