Discontinued Chef's Choice slicers

I see a lot of new Chef's Choice slicers for sale that are discontinued models.
I'm wondering how long parts will be available for these? Or will the new "A" models parts interchange?

I had the same thoughts and questioned CC. Their response is that 615 and 615 A parts are the same, they just changed manufacturers. I opted for the larger 665. Down side is no smooth, non-serrated blade for the 665 but I am ok with that. The 615 models are really popular and pop up on WOOT for ridiculously low prices from time to time. I would double check with CC on parts availability on the model you are most interested in.

Ok. Thanks old sarge!

You are welcome. And good lick in your search. LEM makes an 8 inch belt drive with two blades. Might be a decent machine but resembles many other brands:
