I finally have the trifecta now..
Poperette in house and working
Minit pop in shop awaiting restoration
Popmatic in shop awaiting restoration

when does the madness end biggrin

Thanks all for the comments and the Patent search was really cool... found both patents, but funny how neither of them actually match the actual Popmatic machine?  they are similar but have some pretty major variances... so we'll keep looking for an original manual would be KILLER to find!

John welcome to the trifecta club. The popmatic machine is awesome. The oil system is almost like a bicycle air pump or an oversized syringe. it's shoots the oil when you pull the handle down. You use the clock mechanism to adjust the cooking time. so power is only for the lights and heater.

Cool thanks for the info... I have played around with it for a bit now and yes see that large "Syringe" type unit... figured it was for oil... I'll have to take it all apart to inspect it of course and get it cleaned up but it looks like it's all there...
