News Flash!!! - - - - - Popperette reunited with long lost stand!!

Very nice.
What else is going to be in your new basement?

[BrianB]

typically an unrestored complete, working machine with stand will go for around $3000 - $3500.

I would sell a restored unit for no less than $5000.

       Is an incomplete Popperette like getting an incomplete V-39.....missing the drum etc.?

[BrianB]

Glen,

Kinda sorta Except that a missing stand doesn't affect the operational capability of the Popperette whereas a missing drum in a 39 is a show stopper. I just don't consider it a complete machine without the stand. Same arena as a Stoner Jr./180/Theater without the base I guess.

Brent,

Here's how it's laid out.

[BrianB]

Along the long wall in the gameroom will be my EM pinball machines, U.S. Marshall Gun Game, Vendo Coin Changer, diner booth with Seeburg 3W1. On the wall directly across from the pin's will be my Stoner Jr. and a couple of gumball/peanut machines. Right around the corner from the games but before you reach the soda fountain will be my Seebrug M100B. The soda fountain is going to be have (4) dner stools and a variety of diner/soda fountain accesories.

The family room is next which will have a big comfy sectional and our big screen. It's completey wired for sound and should be pretty cool when it's finished. Behind that is the Pool Table Room with a full bathroom and a bedroom off to the sides. The exercise room is the final part of the project. It has enough room for a Bowflex and a full size treadmill as well as a weight set.

I've been working on it for about 2 years now and have done all of the work myself with the exception of finishing the drywall and the drop ceiling. Here's a few pictures of it during the build.
