Hello Biz
Not sure if you have finalized the grinder problem.
My first grinder was a 4" x 4" post. with apples in a carefully scrubbed
garbage can. All 3 of us are still alive.
My late f-i-l then built an apple miller for me powered by a 1/2 horse. I f
you or your husband are included to carpentry, you could do as one friend of
mine did. He came, took many pictures of mine, went home & replicated it
over the winter.
This same miller is used for grapes, rhubarb.                Cheers
Bert
