Museum-Grade Restoration by The World's Best Slicers

Every Berkel Model 114 restored in The World's Best Slicers laboratories undergoes a painstaking conservation process adhering to strict museum-grade standards:

  1. Mechanical Preservation & Precision Rebuilding: Each unit is completely disassembled. Worn mechanical and motor components are recovered through material deposition welding, custom milling, and precision turning to restore exact original factory dimensions.

  2. Authentic Vintage Parts: Missing or unserviceable components are replaced solely with original spare parts salvaged from historic donor machines or period factory stock.

  3. Cryo-Stripping & Custom Color Matching: Painted castings undergo eco-friendly cryo-stripping and surface preparation before being finished with compliant new-generation paints reformulating the exact historical color shades.

  4. Authentic Copal Decals: Artwork and branding are strictly applied using period-correct copal paint decals—never vinyl stickers, airbrushing, or modern fantasy graphics.

Certificate of Authenticity: Every restored unit is delivered with an Official Certificate of Originality and Guarantee, ensuring ultimate provenance and investment value.
