    Is the 7-UP can a clue to the person who left the meat grinder there?

    Far out! Someone asking you to fix it for them, or maybe someone thought you could use it?

    Looks like the cord will need replacing if you plan to use it. Probably could be classified as an antique.

    That's pretty cool. Can you get replacement cutters (or whatever they're called)?

    Someone came clean. It's a 1925ish enterprise butcher shop chopper. 157 lbs of metal, 390 lbs hr capacity cost $169 in 1925 (I found a add). It's in good working condition less the cord. It was found in a long out of business butcher shop and was given to me because as he said "you like old $#!t".

    Nice people. A few of us give each other "treasures" we find. And our wives complain on Facebook to each other about it.
