Title: Finally Got a Popmatic Popcorn machine... Post by: SIGNGUY on October 21, 2011, 03:30:12 pm Ok, I know I know, she's not pretty and it's a different version than the one we've seen restored in the past and I"m sure it's missing a few parts.. but hey I've always wanted one and the price was right...
I'm going to put it up for sale at Chicago and see if I get any takers, and if not , I may just restore it for a display machine, as they do look pretty cool restored.. would have to make up the top and signage but I got people for that! (and you know who you are).. :hopefull: :biggrin: Maybe I'll send it out to Ricks Restoration as I'm sure he can just find the extra parts needed in his "Boneyard" as he does with so many other hard to find parts! :laugh: Title: Re: Finally Got a Popmatic Popcorn machine... Post by: cokecolaman on October 21, 2011, 04:33:33 pm I have never seen one like that...who made it? Was it circa 1950's?
Title: Re: Finally Got a Popmatic Popcorn machine... Post by: SIGNGUY on October 21, 2011, 04:43:41 pm Pretty sure circa 1940's early 50's... restored they look killer!
this is the earlier version in the photo, but I would restore it to look like this.. Title: Re: Finally Got a Popmatic Popcorn machine... Post by: Creighton on October 21, 2011, 04:51:38 pm Cool!! Like the ad glass at the top.
