I was in the north Italian town of Bassano del Grappa earlier this year and there was a vintage motorbike and car show in the town square, full of lovely sights. In one corner under an awning there were a few old guys supping wine admiring each other's vintage meat/prosciutto/salami slicers. Beautiful heavy ornate old things with fantastic manual mechanisms that gently glide the ham back and forth into the blade, shaving off a perfect wafer thin slice every time. That doesn't help you mind.
I got a lovely heavy duty electric meat grinder from a butcher closing down on eBay. Very good price. These machines are simple, and you are literally paying for the amount of metal in them. So go second hand, but use good judgement.
