    Making a dehydrator

    You’ve got a good point, and I’ve thought about that. The little space heater has 3 temperature settings and 3 fan speed levels. I’ve only checked the temperature at it’s highest setting, but as I’ve thought more, with it being outside of the box, there wouldn’t be a way to regulate the...

    Restored American Slicing Machine, missing a part

    I did some research, as I kept finding slicers that always looked similar but not exactly the same. I found that Hobart bought American Slicing Machine Company in 1912 to increase the products they used their electric motors on. They sold slicers under the American brand name until around 1925...

    Restored American Slicing Machine, missing a part

    I’m with you on looking for info and parts for old equipment. I also love old tools, especially blacksmithing equipment, so pretty much anything that’s going to be putting fire to use

    Restored American Slicing Machine, missing a part

    I will get some full pics up as soon as I can get to my shop to take some, and the link did help. It’s interesting to see that most models seem to have the handle on the opposite end of this one. Another thing I’ve seen is mine doesn’t have an on off switch, and doesn’t look like there’s ever...

    Making a dehydrator

    I’ve come up with some ideas on making a dehydrator. I had the thought of using a small space heater attached to the side of some sort of box, with a hole or holes in the top to allow airflow. I measured the air temperature of the small forced air heater I have, and on high, the temperature...

    Restored American Slicing Machine, missing a part

    Thanks for the link. One of my thoughts, temporarily, is using a 1/2” pipe T coupler, a 45 degree fitting, a pipe nipple and a piece of steel, I’m going to cut one end of the nipple at the correct angle and weld it to the steel plate. It may not look original, but I think it will do the job just...

    Restored American Slicing Machine, missing a part

    Found this old slicer at our farm, my dad used to use it when making jerky. It has been sitting in a shed unused for over 30 years. I took it apart to clean up, got the rust off of it, lubricated everything necessary and oiled the motor. Put it back together, and tried it out with a cucumber...

    American Slicing Machine model number location

    Yeah, I’m definitely wanting to get it working, as a kid I remember my dad using it a lot because people would bring them their beef and venison and pay him to make jerky. He had 5 dehydrators that would be constantly running. My grandfather must have bought this a long time ago, when he also...

    American Slicing Machine model number location

    Not yet looking for parts, hopefully everything inside is ok once I clean it all. The fact that it’s an oiled electric motor is surprising to me, the only other oiled electric motor I have is for my forge blower, and it’s 120 years old

    American Slicing Machine model number location

    Excuse that it’s partially disassembled, the things needing cleaned really bad because it’s sat in a shed for over 25 years

    American Slicing Machine model number location

    I acquired an old meat slicer that was at our farm, brand is American Slicing Machine. I’m uncertain of the model number, what I’m able to find cast on the bottom of it is the number 11159. Does this have anything to do with the model? Or where can I find the model number on it?
