Hi Everyone,

Its GP in England.


I feel I must complain about the media stance towards Tiger.................


Oh forget all that............got something far more important to talk about


This machine is on Ebay Germany

Can you guys help me on manufacturer, etc what its supposed to do......etc

What parts are likely to be missing, are original or repro parts available etc...

IT SAYS MODEL 24A on pix

many thx in advance GP

I thought someone on this site is looking one of those :Oo:

thx for the response............................


i have checked the forum for earlier posts

and seen who was looking for one of these

& have sent a pm to them to let them know

How much they want for it.

They want over two grand for it.  

It's a Popmatic popcorn machine.  They were out before the Popperette.  Similar in design.

Sweet! Good to see one in such nice, restored condition. To bad it's so far away!

I'd be all over it if it was here too.  Here is a picture that a guy sent me a few years back.  These were his relatives from the forties.

Awesome picture, Larry! I love pic's with a personal story.

I am looking for this machine for years can you please list the link  jeff wolf

That is a really cool looking machine!

Hey Matt why don't you post the flyer?  It would be interesting to see.

Larry,

I can't get the jpeg smaller i can send it to you and you can post it. I thought i had the ad but it is for a different machine.

I was just curious what the ad looked like.  What machine do you have?

Here's a rough translation of the auction write-up.

Awesome machine indeed.. I'd say very rare.. as I've only seen two other ones in existence.. The one at the chicago show, and the one that Brian Posted that was for sale on east coast about a year ago...
Jeff, good luck,, I'm sure you'll get it..

Worst case senario... Me and the Ginger Prince taking a road trip through the Tunnel and across a couple of European countries.. Getting it and then flying across the Atlantic with it on our laps...

I'm up for it.. I'm sure Neil would be...

would love to buy it, but the guy said no way will he ship or wrap or crate it, some  one must go to his home and pick it up. to far of a ride for me.

dave if you want to drive and get it for me , i would make it worth your while,  how far is that from you?

Hi Jeff

The seller is about 500 miles from me but I'd need to go through four countries and under the channel tunnel.. I have looked at google maps and it gives an estimated time of 8hrs each way...

I've e-mailed Ginger Prince (he found the item originally). He's another three hours north of me. If you really want it there are a couple of possibilites.

1. We hire a van go and pick it up and bring it back and then get it sent from UK
2. We fly over hire a car go and pick it up, take it to a shipping company in Germany and get it sent from there.
3. You liase direct with a shipping company in Germany and have them pick it up and ship it for you.

If you did need my help I would do whatever I could for you but it wouldn't be in the very near future. I have work commitments and home commitments that would mean it would have to wait a couple of weeks at least.

Has the seller indicated that he will hold it for you??
Is the tiem heavy etc...

Let me know your thoughts...

Dave

Thank you so much for the offer, you are a really good person, but the guy selling is a jerk , he just does not want to deal with some one from another country he said. thanks again ,and if i can ever help you i will  jeff

No Problem... That's what we are all here for...

I'm guessing it won't be long before you sniff one out your side of the world...

Dave
