I love old kitchen gadgets of all sorts.

Having made lots of jerky myself, I'd suggest that your friend only try to slice the meat after it has been in the freezer for about an hour and a half. It's not frozen through at that point but it has acquired some rigidity and it's much easier at that point to slice it quite thin. Even using just a sharp kitchen knife.
