    Love those machines that are huge, and only do a single thing.

    I worked at a bakery in Jersey in high school that was famous for apple pies & cider. They had a 2 station machine like that, about the same vintage I'd say. How I never saw anyone l get their hand peeled I have no idea. That thing was an industrial accident waiting to happen. At thanksgiving time it ran about 12 hours a day to keep up with the bakers making pies.

    I like my simple, counter mounted, manual apple corer / peeler / slicer. It's not nearly as beautiful but just as fast and much safer!
