So tonight I stopped at my neighborhood church basement and I found some mid-century deliciousness of my own.....
The pictures are not great
Look at those designs! I love the veggies.
The color is way better in person, it's beautiful pale turquoise.
It comes with a special blade to make rippled cuts and the instructions.
This is the kind of kitchen gadget I've always loved but my mom couldn't bear. I would be hypnotized by all of Popeil's miracle wares. I know they don't all work, but I still love them!
How tackylicious is that? I saw Dan's face when I brought it in the car.....It's going in the shop after a good cleaning! LOL
Well it's 9:02 and I will go nighty night, I'm pooped and I feel hollow so that means I need a good night sleep.
On the plus side, I'm really happy to wake up in the morning and go to work! I'm learning new stuff every day :)

That is a Great find! You are very lucky to find one in such a pretty color :)
Aqua!!! My favorite colour, my kitchen is decorated in aqua & sunshine yellow. Have you tried it out? I'm horrible at slicing up vegetables so this actually seems like a useful invention.
That is the coolest looking mid-century gizmo gadget thingie!!! Love it! And the name, Dial-O-Matic! Seems everything back then was something Matic, doesn't it?
Mucho fun.
Glad you like your new job.
Love love love the color, it's droolicious! And guess what, Ginger already threw up on my comforter twice. Sheesh.
would you consider selling the dial o matic slicer, i use one for canning corn for years and it broke and looking to purchase one
Harvester, I'm commenting on my own blog becasue you didn't leave an email in your profile.
I sold the Popeil Dial-O-Matic about a month ago sorry about that. However you can find some on etsy.

Good luck :)
Any way to post instructions. We found one in the attic but no instructions. Would love to see how to properly operate.
