Good deal on a univex slicer?

[gersus]

I have an opportunity to purchase a used univex slicer for $50. He says it needs a new blade, is missing the sharpening part, and can't get it to adjust the slice thickness. I have no idea if it's worth it given its issues or not. If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it. thanks!

Here is the blurry pic he sent me.

It's going to need a couple of hundred dollars worth of work. I would keep looking on Craigslist! Good luck, Jeff.

Bummer, thanks though.

Strike 1, 2 & 3....those three issues (new blade, new sharpener & depth adjustment fix) all add up to $$$$ pretty quickly. I came across similarly priced models that needed 'help'. Best to keep looking. The good news is: the right one will eventually show up at the right price.
