I'm rebuilding an even older one, a Hobart model 110. I think it's the 2nd one they ever made and from the 1930's. I'm not making mine as pretty as the wonderful job you did though. Interesting to see how much did NOT change from the 110 to the one you have here.
A BFF from High School, Billy Reardon, told the story of the time, while he was working in a deli, after high school and before the Navy, of how after slicing some sort of processed meat for a customer he noticed he was bleeding. Closer inspection reveled he no longer had the tip of one of his fingers. He'd sliced off about an 1/8 of an inch and apparently sent it along in the deli wrap. As far as I remember there never was any repercussion. Gotta wonder what happened when the meet got home. Rest in Peace Billy.
What grease did you use to repack the gearbox with? I am working on a 1940s era Globe slicer and I want to replace the grease in the gearbox. I know that Globe uses mineral oil for the food surfaces but the gearbox appears to have something like axle grease in it.
I’m thinking about tearing mine down and doing the same. Great job. I love the outcome. How did you remake the guards for the carrier tray? I need some made, and would happily pay. Also did you take it to a shop to strip and repaint?
Hey Anton, thanks! I had all the pieces so luckily no remaking. I stripped the paint with regular paint stripper and sanding. The plating I removed using oven cleaner. Just have to work it as you go and then a ton of sanding and polish. To repaint I used spray appliance paint. Good luck
@@blackbearhiker1420 took that back plate off nothing broken, hit the switch the blade started spinning i think it may need to greased again may ask you how do i put new grease in it and what kind grease to buy for it please.
@@godsreal3274 Sounds like it. I scraped the grease out with Popsicle sticks and swabs 4oz Food Grade Grease for Kitchen Stand Mixers Made In The USA a.co/d/hZT0342 This grease is good grade
Hey, great snag! Parts are fierce to find. I'm still hopeful to find one last piece. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwigsci6v8L6AhWRMjQIHZzGCxcQFnoECAwQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alfaco.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F11%2F410-Manual.pdf&usg=AOvVaw24zgycEmGEUHKoOYv3fi0- This is the manual I downloaded. It was helpful!
Thanks, I need to find that little square piece next to the spring on that part that was broke on yours. I’ll pry end up trying to make something if I can’t find a replacement.
Great job!! I just purchased the same meat slicer at a local auction yesterday. Mine is missing the piece that was broke on yours. Were you able to fix yours or did you find another one? Is there a way to use it without that part or is that the only way you can get it to move? I’ve not been able to figure out if mine is just frozen up or if it just won’t move without that part. Thanks!
It was just dried up grease and dirt that kept it from moving. I can slide it and tighten down the bottom bolts to lock In a thickness, so it does work. I am still on the hunt for a skilled welder just to make it 100% I saw on a forum a guy who fabricated his own and got it working as well
If you don’t mind me asking one more question...which bolts are you loosening to move the bracket for the thickness? I degreased the undercarriage and then oiled it. And then I loosened 3 hex head bolts (the 2 on the brass piece and one below that looks to be in a slotted spot) that seem to be holding it in place and it doesn’t budge. Am I doing something wrong or do I just need to bang on it with something? Sorry for all the questions. There’s little info I have found on this exact model. Thanks!
@@chasegregg4778 No problem. I removed all three of them when I disassembled it. I had to remove the two long shafts to get it all out and they are held with double allenhead set screws and the holes had some kind of filler that had to be picked out
Awesome job!!
Nice restoration, I'm hoping we'll get to see some rost beef or pastrami sliding in the work table being sliced so heavenly thin. Yum! Yum!
Good job dad!! :) Great work
great job
Thank you!

Poor Billy and Poor meat purchasers! These things are no joke on the opportunity to slice human parts!

I used a general purpose grease I got at Ace hardware since it's not in contact with the food surfaces.
@@blackbearhiker1420 Thanks! That had to be much less costly than the food grade grease!
@@bobbyfloyd6900 Yup! That's why I went that way

I own one just, and this morning, my slicer stopped moving like it's stuck. The motor still has power, and any ideas ?
@@godsreal3274 Check the gear box sometimes a tooth will break and bind the motor. Lots of grease to deal with but not too bad to check

@blackbearhiker1420 thank you very much for the information..

Hello I just picked up this exact slicer, do you know anywhere you can get parts and also where did you get the manual for it? Thanks
