Found this baby on craigslist for $190. I cleaned it up and painted the casting a gloss black. I believe it is from the 40's or 50's and has all the original parts as far as I can tell. The gears look great and the motor runs quiet, now I need something to slice. I have a presto 10" slicer but that does not cut across a full belly when making bacon so I needed to trim it too much. This one should do a better job with bellies and boneless hams.
