Title: Finished the restoration of my non-coin operated Popperette Post by: Stotman on June 09, 2015, 07:23:12 am Last night I wrapped up the restoration of my popperette. I will post pics of the actual restoration later.
Fun project. This machine sat behind the bar on a counter top. Notice no hole in the formica. The stand is a reproduction. You push in the button on the lower right side and the machine starts the cycle. The start button is reset by the machine. Again, I will post more pics and a video soon, but I wanted to share the finished project with everyone. http://popperette.blogspot.com/ Title: Re: Finished the restoration of my non-coin operated Popperette Post by: Ltransam on June 09, 2015, 12:48:16 pm It Looks Great !!!! Have you Tried It Yet ? I saw this machine at Brains House and looked it over & it Looked complete . I have one that a member helped get for me then Re-Wired it ,But Due to lack of free time i've dropped the ball on firing it up But I will this weekend as I promised the grand kids . All I can do is break it LOL :tounge: Title: Re: Finished the restoration of my non-coin operated Popperette Post by: Stotman on June 09, 2015, 01:24:14 pm I made popcorn in it when I first got it. When restoring it I discovered the heating element was broken in 5 places. I purchased a new heating element and I was anxious to finish the machine and fire it up. However, after all of the work I put into the restoration, I have decided I don't want to get it all dirty. I will continue to make popcorn on the microwave.

PLUSSSSSSSS, it taste GREAT and is good for you. :biggrin: I can vouch for that - coconut oil is the BEST for making popcorn. It gives it an incredible richness. Had the pleasure of sampling some popcorn made in coconut oil at Larry's house a little over a year ago. Best. Popcorn. Ever. -Jim Title: Re: Finished the restoration of my non-coin operated Popperette Post by: Ross on June 09, 2015, 07:57:20 pm Definitely use coconut oil. Taste great and easy to clean.
