Thanks for the kind words.

John, you can stop bowing now. biggrin laugh  I agree, I like machines restored to their original condition without all the hoopla.

But then again, Jeffs Keeney coffee and Curtis's Stoners look better now than they did with the original paint scheme.  I know my Stoner's were copied from Curtis designs when he was with BITW.

I know where to go if I need any help with mine- Larry and John. You both made them look new again. They almost look like little space men with the glass on top.

I just left Larry's house let me just say that has to be one of the nicest popperette's I have ever seen.  That maybe the first 5k dollar popperette.

It didn't take too long.  I know I started to strip the cabinet in June when my kids were still in school.  I was working on three machines at that time.  I did the two stoners, when they were neary done, I woked on the dual nut, then the Popperette, then came along the ice cream machine, so considering that I had some major projects going on, I would say three months.

My first Popperette I took apart, cleaned, buffed it, and wired it in a week or two.  My big draw back is waiting for the painter to do his thing.

Bob send me a P.M.  I had your email before when I was chating about your Popperette, but I since then I have deleted it.  What close ups are you looking for?  I have two versions of the Popperette.  The mercury cam switch version and the relay version with the double kick cam.
