In this video I restore a vintage popcorn maker from the 1950's. The Corn Pop-o-mat was an Arted product from NY that used 250 watts to heat an element to pop delicious popcorn. First I disassemble the parts, then sandblast and powder coat the body of the appliance with high gloss red RD03. All the other parts get a good cleaning with some of them being nickel plated. I hope you guys enjoy, if you do leave a like and a comment. Subscribe if you would like to see more awesome content ;).
Much Love,

    We had one of those as a kid. My family used em every Friday night. Us kids would have sleepovers on the weekends, and mom would make popcorn in it. It was great times

    Great job. FYI, you can clean the stains on unglazed ceramic by heating it with a torch until it glows. Comes out looking as clean as if it were new. Try it on a junk piece of ceramic first if you are hesitant to attempt it on an actual project.

    🌹Love how you can restore old wonders into working order again. I have watched this video twice, the first time I watched it without listening to it, so I missed the storm in the background that was going along with your work. A wonderful sound to listen to as you bring life to the wonders of old. 🌹

    Sandblaster, powder coating, and electroplating is the trinity of restorations!😊

    This just oozes with the wholesome nostalgia of going out with friends to the movies as a kid!

    Great restoration! but I would be cautious with those three fiber pads and the flat disc on top of the heating element as asbestos was very common in appliances back then.

    Oh thank you for powder coating stuff I have a secret love of powdercoats. Beautiful.

    First class restoration ! I did have one comment though: 13:50 When wrapping the wire around the left bolt you put it back exactly as when they originally had it, which is, imho, incorrect. Wrapping wire around a bolt/screw always goes in the direction of the way the bolt tightens (in this case, clockwise) so that it tightens when the nut is applied.
