Ditto, too nice to redo.  A few scratches here and there give it that vintage look that will be gone if you blast and re-paint.

I think they look much better restored.  Mine were both in pretty rough shape.  This is hopefully my "after" picture.  Once again, thank you Curtis for your help.

Yes I did see the decal sets that are available for these machines. But they are not exact replacements if you look. Close.   Think I will go with original Idea and try to polish the orig paint as best I can. And if I need to touch up some areas age it to blend.  Got the inside me mechanicals working perfectly. Wow that was trial!!

Its called "Aerokroil" made by Kano laboratories..

A little pricey, but the BEST penetrating oil I have EVER used.

I just ordered a can.  I am having some trouble with some suck bolts that I don't want to drill out.  Will let you know.  Thanks for the tip.

Just finished with my pop corn sez machine i got for christmas!   Works PERFECTLY!!!  Amazing how warm the heater keeps the popcorn!!  This is one of coolest things I have ever worked on. (Big thanks to BITW for the NOS heater) Will post some pics tomorrow night..  Next question guys.  As with me when I get a new project I spend HOURS researching the net for information. I came acrosss this article in Billboard magazine from 1949.  Quote: firm is working out a sales stimulator in the form of an animated manikin of its trademark popcorn sez figure. Which will be encased in clear plastic compartment and mounted on top of the popcorn compartment dome. Also enclosed with the figure is a small amount of popcorn, which is tossed about in the compartment by spring action. A small fractional hoursepower electric motor moves a circular ad copy panel around the base of the figure and actuates the spring action thereby causing one arm of the figure to raise and lower. As production cost have not yet been determined cost of device has not been set"  Has anyone seen or heard of one of these?  Do they exist?  Anyone have a picture of one on top of a machine?  Finding a picture of this has really sent me on a crusade....

Thanks.....
