Broken slicer

[ifitsdeadsmokeit]

Was making some jerky today using @Quiganomics sweet bourbon recipe slightly modified. Went to turn it on and switch broke. Ugh. Initial tasting of marinade is a thumbs up. Ended up cutting it by hand. Was thinking about a bigger slicer recently. It is a blakeslee 8.7” old, that plastic parts brittle old. Anyone ever replace the switch before?

I started looking on FB marketplace, or my better half did since I dont have a login. Found a used bizerba gsp hd33 slicer 13” slicer abt 2 hrs away for $500. It is missing the sharpener and meat anchor so will be another $200. Anyone know anything about these. Sounds like a good deal from the little research I have done. I also have a belly for habanero bacon be ready to smoke in cpl days so trying to avoid borrowing from a friend of my neighbors.

Unless you know a pro who can sharpen it, before you buy it check if a new blade is available/cost.

I have a hobart from the forties WITH the sharpener--the sharpener is worth more than the whole (in 100% working order) slicer

Blades are available. It is a newer model from what I can ascertain. I would buy the missing sharpener. It is a common commercial slicer.

I’d get it! I don’t have any experience, but they look good quality, and the cheapest used one I found on eBay was a 2018 for over $1900!
