They did have a distinctive sound.....sort of like a 1967 V8 plymouth starting up ....and I forgot about the knife sharpner.........
The food buildup on the gears was the first thing that I thought about when I saw the photo.
Sad...
We had two. One that was used and another that wasn’t.Dunno if it still holds true now, but back in the day, the first place an inspector would check in a restaurant was the big ass prep table mounted #10 can opener. Things were never clean. The problem with the electric can openers was that you couldn't clean them. Great for 70's kids building up natural immunity to salmonella and e. coli though.

My first car was an 83 I got my senior year of high school in 88. Had 50K miles when I got it, when I said goodbye in early 2001 it had 248K and I had ran it without a odometer chain for at least 10K. No heat or ac, no radio, springs out of the seats, and rusted tailgate and doors, but the engine purred still. I got $700 on trade. It no doubt lived on for quite awhile after.
On the topic, having a local news crew like this. Leep is still the GOAT of local weatermen. Andy Hardy knew sports. Hugh Smith was class, too bad he didn't learn to stay away from North Nebraska Avenue though.
When school was going to be called off for snow and ice prior to Facebook and texts, you would have to watch the news and wait for your county to scroll by with anticipation. If you missed your county you would have to wait five more minutes for it to come back up.
It will be back...you know it will!How 'bout the old jheri curl? Is that ever coming back?
