Picked up this Gold Medal Model 200 (aka "You'll like it") popcorn warmer this evening (Thanks Jared!). 

Very nice clean machine, obviously a replacement/home made globe.  Everything works great.  Burned the crap out of my finger on the warmer checking to see if it got hot.  Darwin moment. 

I've been pondering the replacement globe thing, I'm pretty sure nobody reproduces them.  I've had success in the past tracking down small companies that will do small runs of items, I'm going to dig around for someone that does plastic molding. 

There is also local place here that does glass blowing and they teach a course in it.  I'm thinking about seeing if this is something they could do, or let me do if I sign up for one of their courses.  It wouldn't really be 'glass blowing' so I'm not sure.  But on that thought train, I wonder if I could get some Popperette globes made there...  hmmmmm.
