Yep. Any 58mm tamper should theoretically work. I'm using one of these and it works fine on my classic. Hope you enjoy your classic. I got mine a few weeks ago and I'm still learning and getting better at making consistent shots. I got a 12 oz frother as well. It is much smaller than I expected, but is actually probably about the right size for me.
Don't forget a 58mm backflush basket or backflush insert/disk and Cafiza if you are wanting to keep the group head and solenoid clean. A Pallo brush is also very handy as well.
KitchenAid is notorious for not making spare parts.
