I've been watching for a used commercial slicer for a couple years but everything was out of reach. a couple weeks ago I was at camp BS'ing with a couple friends. I have my smoker at camp and I'm usually cooking something every weekend. We were talking Smoking and the subject of slicers came up. I commented on how I'd love to score one someday. My neighbor asks "Are you really looking for a big slicer?" I said yes but right now I really can't swing it. To make an already long story shorter, he said "I don't want anything for it. I need the room".

Well, Here it is. Not one of the big three, but it runs strong and quiet. negligible blade wobble. Weighs as much as my Silverado. But it is now MINE!

Sanitary brand slicer by the Sanitary Scale Co.


Had to try it.




Its missing the knob on the meat follower, but it's a non issue.



Looks like there was a sharpener but I think I'll Catch three Unicorns before I find one. I'll just send the blade out if it ever needs sharpening.


I've been watching some restoration people are doing on old equipment and may tear into this someday. Will it be worth the effort? Probably not. Will it be fun? Yes.

If anyone out there has any info on this beast, I'd love to hear it. Thanks for looking.
 
Thanks rexter. I'm already planning on getting a new switch and indicator light from them. It is in need of new wiring so I figured I'd put the new switch and missing indicator light in while I'm doing that.
Other than that, not much out there. Best part is, it works great as is for now.
 
Nice score, would have been cheap at twice the price.

Where will you keep it? 

I have a great huge old Hobart that I hardly ever use

because it's just to heavy to carry around.

I'm looking for ideas, haven't come up with any great solutions yet.

Gearjammer, I keep it on a counter in my laundry room. My Son-in-law is making a cart the same height as the kitchen counter so it should be a slide on slide off setup.
