With the help of my pal MCarter, I came about the newest addition to my coin-op family, a Popcorn popper/vendor known as the "Popperette".
After teaming with Matt to restore his U-Pop-It, I was definitely bit by the popcorn machine bug! I'd been looking for a U-Pop-It or a Minit Pop with no success. Matt hooked me up with a guy who just happened to have a Popperette and the rest is history.
After unpacking and assembling the machine, I was very surprised to find all of the original operating/shipping tags were still present and that the machine was in great shape! All I really had to do to make it ready to go was to replace the power cord. I plugged her in and bypassed the seasoning oil float sensor and was greeted with light coming from the marquee sign! I then decided to try out the coin mech/coin switch to see if the machine would run through a cycle and it did! Here are some pictures:

Now that is COOL and what I need for my home theater! Doesn't take up a lot of space.

Looking at your pics, it is like I was a fly on the wall as you first received it.
It is on the table in the foyer and you are checking it out all around
and then...
it is out to the workbench to really check it out.
Was there much grease (butter) buildup inside?
How easy is it to clean?
Give us more pics inside!
