Great find! I think?!

calldoctoday it would be tough convincing me to go electric, we had it when we lived in CA and wasn’t happy with cooking with it at all. My mom lives about 100 miles south of me and was all electric and she changed her direction after her first winter and converted to propane for heating but kept it for cooking and hot water. She is not a happy camper with that range and still may change
YooperDog I am with you brother, 110%. Don’t get me started today. Thought I just about had no choice on the last go round, Hind site 20/20 & pretty much going blind.

Here is my most recent great find. A 60” American Range unit. Double oven, 6 burner, griddle top and broiler below. This will be an excellent addition to my shop kitchen build. The lady bought it new and only used it to can on. Griddle and oven have never been used. $500 out the door.

Looks great! My uncle had a slicer and when he died I regret not taking it. We gave it away. I would love having a slicer now.

I had another great marketplace find. Picked up this 827a Berkel 12” slicer for 100 bucks. Needs a little TLC but I think it is going to be great. This is my first slicer so cleaning and lubricating it will probably teach me a lot about it. It started right up and belt and motor seem solid. It is missing the slice deflector which I am debating if I even need. Also the tray gets a little stiff as it approaches the blade. It is getting much better after I added some mineral oil to the rod that it slides on. Hope this is OK to do. Could not think of another way to lubricate the bushings. Also there is an oil hole at the end of the rod which I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with. I may need a new sharpening stone and could use new feet. But for $100 I don’t mind investing a little.
It has a Somewhat oxidized look to it, may be from something they tried to clean it with previously. Wondering if anybody has any tricks to shine it up. Was thinking maybe barkeepers friend but wasn’t sure.
