I recently acquired a Micronta 3001 metal detector with plans to turn it into the under-appreciated KUD Meter. As soon as it arrived I took it apart, fiddled with the electronics, shortened the shaft a bit, and had to replace the badly stripped screws on the underside of the body.
At first, the utensils seemed a bit tricky to find. Alex Newborn was kind enough to share an eBay link for the proper strainer ladle, which left only the masher to find. Unfortunately the Kitchen Ware potato masher that other builders have been using didn't seem readily available, so I would have to find some other option...
As fun as it would be to claim that I searched long and hard for the accurate potato masher, I must confess that my stumbling upon it on eBay was a complete fluke.
This vintage (late 70s or early 80s) potato masher, manufactured by Regent, appears to be a very close to what was used on-screen. While we'll probably never know for certain the exact brand of masher mounted on the screen-used prop, this is for all intents and purposes perfect.
I took the liberty of extensively documenting this particular piece before I tore it apart, should it happen to be THE masher.
I must say that I'm not looking forward to cutting, drilling, and bending stainless steel...
