I found that Kalorik makes a 200 watt gear motor driven 7.5'' sliver that looked decent. Not the one I would like to have - but....They had a few factory refurbished units with warranty for $65.00 plus $8.00 in shipping! Low risk - if I don't' like it...I will Craigslist it
And - I got a #12 - 3000 watt meat grinder with 3 stainless cutter disks and 3 cutter blades for $81.00 shipped! The claim is "3.4 h.p. - but....I ain't buyin' that. Still - I think it should be heavy duty enough for me.
Then there was the Dakotah hydraulic stuffer I found on Craigslist...Appears new - and looks like all the parts are there - heck of a nice guy selling it. $45.00 shipped.
In case anyone here does not know this - I suffer from a genetic condition. I am a Scottish-Jew
....
And the typical result ( aside from squeaking when I walk) is that I will research, and shop someting to death. Or at least to a point that my conscience does not beat me up that "could have got it cheaper".
