Thanks Mike! Do you happen to know of one like this in 220+ V?

The Hobart cap that Mike linked to in post #11 probably has an actual rating that's higher than 110v
Since that is essentially an OEM replacement the printed rating is referring to the appliance operating voltage I think
Mike is the voice of experience here

Thanks Mike. Very glad to be educated on the "slimline" option.

Thanks Mark. Duh, I could have easily looked up the meat slicer but now I have and while they did make a 220 model the parts manual isn't a quick find. Looks they are still a very popular machine. I expect that's why Mike knows about fixing them.

Thanks. I had to get familiar with this getting help balancing the legs on a SPC. Learn just enough to get me through the project de jour.

Just out of curiosity what is the diameter and length of the shaft?

Just out of curiosity what is the diameter and length of the shaft?

3/4" X 2-11/32'" But the bearings are external to the frame so the total length from the face to the end of the shaft is ~ 4-1/4" The external bearings are covered by the pulley cone. IIRC it was the 3/4" shaft that was hard to locate. Per the NEMA chart the 3/4" makes it a pre-1953 specification.
