hamilton beach blender 58142r

I had the motor, glass jar, and lid for what I think must be a forty-year-old glass Hamilton Beach blender. It lacked the entire bottom assembly - cutter, ring and screw cap.Thanks to Amazon customer reviews, I bought one Factory Services HA-010 Blender Cutter Assembly, one Bottom Base Screw Cap for Hamilton Beach Blender, and TWO of these o-ring seals. (One is used to provide a seal between the glass jar and the cutter assembly so there are no leaks; the second o-ring is used to raise the cutter assembly up a fraction of an inch inside the screw cap.)No leaks and creating a perfect fit: I can't ask for more than that from an o-ring. It's definitely doing its job.This was a great way to save and recycle an old blender that looks as though it has many more years - if not decades - left in it.Amazon's supplier shipped quickly and on time, exactly as promised.Because Amazon provides easy access to available and affordable parts, reviewers were so generous in posting helpful reviews, and all manufacturers shipped reliably and on-time, restoring this old blender to full use was a great experience.
