The sausage maker sells some top of the line equipment however that stuff is out of most of our price ranges. However this unit looks pretty cool.
J,
At the SM, there's a damaged equipment and close out area at the back/right of the spice room .. There's a door that opens into a warehouse and there are tables of scratch/dent items, many of them dehydrators,discontinued books, knives, meat slicers, etc. for up to half off. Just in case you didn't know Wink
Didn't mean to hi-jack the thread...

An improved version could be made out of almost any metal cabinet. I would add a muffin-fan (like the ones used in a computer enclosure) at the top to blow-out the moist air and vents placed near the bottom. You could vary the heat by screwing-in light bulbs of different wattage. It would take a little "trial-and-error", but would still be relatively easy.
We have a three season porch that faces south and gets sun all day. I was thinking about using clear plexiglass to make a box with a few small holes drilled in the top for venting.It would be kind of like a solar dehydrator.
