Kenwood A701A attachment converter
I'd like to know to know if some people tried to build a converter for modern attachments to the A701A? If not, I have access to CNC and 3D printer (with metal), what are the differences of the attachments between this model and the modern attachment?

Weekly Flylady Thread 26th December 2022
What is FLYLADY? Well, it's our version of the US flylady idea - but we
work on the principle that housework is not fun, it's boring, can be
time-consuming, is often thankless but, unfortunately, necessary. It's here on
