Looks great Jim...Can't wait for the gang to come over to your place for some hot fresh corn like we did at Larry's!

Thanks guys.

Bob - you know you guys are ALWAYS welcome at my place, although I don't have the variety of awesome machines that Larry possesses.  Unfortunately the only single-batch popcorn I can make is in the little 100 calorie microwave snack bags.   

I've been singing the praises of that Popperette popcorn to Tina since I got back from Chicago.  I have honestly never had better popcorn.  I'm sure it was the fact that it was popped in coconut oil, as opposed to air-popped or nuked, but WOW that was good.

On the replacement globe front... I may already have a lead.  If it pans out, I'll start up a new thread with any details.

There was a guy on Ebay making replacement globes,  It stuck in my mind since he also was repopping parts for a Wurlitzer juke. 
I'll dig through my notes and see if I can find his name

That would be great Jim, thanks!   

I searched Google last night and actually found a plastic molding company in the little town about 2 miles from me.   I took a shot last night on an email to the plant manager.  He answered me this morning.   They have a 3-D printer, and he said he may be able to help me out.  I sent him some rough measurements this morning.   If he can help, I may need to beg or borrow an original globe from someone to get some accurate measurements since mine has a home-made replacement.  We'll see... either way, the geek in me hopes I can get a chance to see a 3-D printer in action!

Great looking machine Jim .  I Have that version and there is another version I have also the front is a little different I will post pics later. I am needing the trim ring that holds the globe to base if anyone knows of or has parts.


         Thanks Donnie

here are the pics of 2 different versions I have

[jholmgren]

Thanks Don - nice to see another one of the same model. 

I've only seen them like your first pic - with the external chute.

Where are you located?  At some point I may bother you for some hi-res pics of the decals on yours so I can have some made up to match.

Here is one I got earlier this year from Curtis I hope to get a Chute for it the one on it it now is just a door with no hinge it is held on by tape. He bought this from a guy who bought from VC auctions sight unseen. It is still neat machine Curtis did one awhile back that looked awsome.
