I would like to add to this that unless you are a heavy duty user, you
can likely find one that will suit you at a thrift shop, flea market,
garage sale or estate sale. I have two, both purchased used this way.
They don't appear every day, it takes a little patience and persistence,
but $2 for a meat grinder compared to $80 or more is a worthy price
difference to make the patience worthwhile.
