Default Manual meat grinder

Hey guys I am in the market for a manual meat grinder. Would like to know what you recommend and what to look for and what to avoid as well as were to purchase. The meat grinder will be used for very small quantities.
I am also open to electric, but do not want to spend a fortune.
Thanks

My mother used a manual grinder for years-Windsor I think it was .
Everything got cut into stew sized and she would grind what she needed for that day's supper .
I can remember clamping it to the table and grinding the stew meat into burger for her when I was younger .

Got mine at peavey mart and I've been using it for years. LEM is the brand. I considered an electric but then discovered my kids love turning it too.

I got a lem grinder you can have. I used it for one year and after processing 2 deer and a pig I upgraded to an electric. I'm in Edmonton every couple weeks so let me know.

I have an old Spong grinder that has been in use 30 years.
I grind small batches from frozen chunks for single meal use, when it is not worth getting the electric grinder dirty.

Default An invention that's been in use for over a 100 years

I used a hand crank for small batch's the problem was finding a table or counter to mount it on in the kitchen, I always had to use the work bench in my garage.

Keep an eye out at VV or good will, not uncommon and usually cheap.

Snapped the handle off the antique one I had here.

I alway look but some are pretty rusted and the platting has peeled so I am not to sure about health risks.
How much should a guy pay for one of these old ones and can you find replacement blades and such?
