A good alternative to sandblasting is cleaning by electrolysis. All that you need is a 12 volt automotive battery charger, plastic container and washing soda.
Best bet is to fully disassemble before-hand to get everything cleaned thoroughly.
After cleaning, re-season like you would a cast iron skillet.processhead so do you hook 2 rods to the cable ends and put them in the water?

cdavis you wire the two rods to the red battery charger lead, and the black lead goes to the coat hanger that suspends your subject part in the fluid. The fluid is water, mixed with 1 tablespoon of cleaning soda (not baking soda) per gallon of water. Do not over-concentrate the solution. I run my manual battery charger at the 15 amp setting. There are many you-tube videos on the subject. I just cleaned 3 10" cast iron skillets using this method. Took 14 hours for the quickest one, and 24 hours for the worst one. Science is fun!

Electrolysis removes rust, old grease/dirt and any old lead paint that might still be stuck to surfaces that contact sausage meat.
Usually a little wire brushing in soap and hot
water will remove what little is still stuck on the surface after it comes out of the bucket. -
I love these old suffers/fruit presses. My father-in-law has one in his basement that I am hoping to get one of these days

Jonathon Fist of all apologies to craigrice, but for convenience if Jonathan wants it I would rather just drop it off to him if he still wants it after the photosI lack both the means to restore it and no place to display it
I don’t know if the strainer basket is salvageable, it won’t come out (didn’t try to force it)
There is a lock nut and a tube in the basket
All rust appears to be surface rust but I can’t see inside because of the strainer basket
Screw and gears workJonathan are you still interested?

glen Looks like a nice Enterprise. They originally came with two plates. One large for stuffing and one smaller for use with the strainer. They will be marked as such on the top side. The second one may be under the strainer basket.

If you manage to get the strainer out, you might find the large plate at the bottom of the stuffer.
Mine was missing the large plate. -
I had a customer restore the stuffer his grandfather and his dad used in the old butcher shop

Just gonna throw this out there…if the Walton’s team were to make a video or meatgistics post to show one of they many ways of how to restore one ,that could be really beneficial to the community. And I’m guessing that if people were to be using these older models it wouldn’t be long before they upgraded.

Departing Contestant Apparently around 1920 the company changed it’s name from Gus V. Brecht Butchers Supply Co to Brecht Co. so this possibly could pre-date that

Mine was missing the large plate.processhead From the picture it looks like there is a cast iron strainer on the bottom. I have one just like it picked up at a flea market for $20. Had small plate and strainer basket with strainer on bottom. You can buy the large plate for these on line. Used mine a long time before finally replacing with electric but it still works great.
