Thanks for all the info. I was initially weary of buying used because I read some posts here where people had various problems like finding their ice stained with rust, or strange odors coming from the machine.

Most of the really "vintage" electric crushers out there like the Waring I004 suggested above appear rusty on the outside, and those listing that include a good photo of the blades inside appear to have some really funky looking yellow buildup on them.

Does anyone have experience with the Waring 11CR10 model? It appears to be a later 70s or 80s model manufactured in Japan. There are quite a few of these on eBay, some nearly new with original box and manuals, for example:

Just wondering if these are any good?
