Wow very cool!!  Interesting that it was removed by the seller because there was an error in the listing.

I believe it was purchased by a member here.
we'll let them disclose the details if they see fit.

pretty cool to have a NOS Unit... but as long as you have one that you can use too as they are incredible machines to see operate! and make pretty darn good corn too! biggrin

Hi Everybody,

I was the lucky one who bought the NOS Popperette.  I am very excited and can't wait to see it at the show when I pick it up!  Not everyday you see a NOS Popperette! Stop by and see it at the Chicago Show if you go in November!  And no, it's NFS in case you were wondering. biggrin

Special thanks to the members I spoke with regarding the purchase before I pulled the plug, and to Leonard who found it for me.  I owe you big time buddy. I've been looking for a complete, nice one for a long time, but this one just blew me away.  I'm so stoked!

I don't plan on using it...Sad to say it will be on display "as is" to maintain it's value (I will save the boxes and crating materials).  I have another Popperette I will be restoring soon and will be using.  It's missing the globe but I have a line on another original glass globe.  Don't need the base that I'm also missing. Will probably use it on the counter in my basement man cave.  John Signguy Nelson and Brenda Beayoung helped me find my first one and buy it at last years show, so a big shout out to them also. Thanks!

Here is the one that needs restoring. Cracked Popcorn plastic lens, no return coin bezel, rusty salt shaker, needs rewiring, no globe or base.

Great find!!!

I am not surprised that you are not going to use it. After restoring mine and making it just like new, I did not have the heart to make any popcorn in it.

I plan on buying another theatre style popcorn maker to get my movie popcorn fix.
