The thunderstorm added such a wonderful ambiance ❤

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.

I'd be worried about uneven heating with a torch, TBH; I think re-firing in a kiln or maybe self-clean cycle in an oven might be better for larger and more complex pieces, to avoid them blowing up due to differential heating. Sodium hydroxide can be another option, particularly for organic stains; soak ceramics in hot hydroxide solution for 30-45 mins and grease stains tend to vanish.

Great restoration! I love the thunderstorm added sound effect!

A wonderful sound to listen to as you bring life to the wonders of old. 🌹

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.

@DrRestoration

Thank you sir! I agree about the wire but there was also a washer so it doesn’t matter bc the washer will not spin with the nut

Wether or not it’s a display piece isn’t the big danger. It’s how you handled it during the restoration process. After removing it dry (asbestos should always be wet if you absolutely have to deal with it) you put it in a vibratory polisher (for long enough to clean ip the other parts)! The amount of fiber particles released during that process is immense. And it doesn’t take that many of them inhaled to lead to mesothelioma. Your polisher and media is now contaminated with asbestos fibers and will release additional particles every time you use it. And the pads in the popper have been agitated and ill shed fibers for years. This is literally a prescription for lung cancer. You probably don’t want to do a full asbestos remediation on your workspace, but that’s really the safest course. Barring that there are a couple of thing you absolutely must do immediately. 1) Put on a very good particle mask, open all of the windows in your workspace, and get air flowing through it. (wind, fans, whatever) If it’s connected to your living space, tape the seams. If you can pick up a Tyvek suit, get one and tape the gloves and cuffs. 2) Spray down your polisher with water. Carefully take it outside and move (gently) the media into a sealed bag. Do the same with the popper and the pads. Water to prevent particles from blowing, gentle movement, and get the pads into a sealed container. Double wrap the container in multiple sealed layers of plastic and take it to a place who can dispose of it properly. Do not throw it in the trash. Now flood the tumbler and popper with water. Over and over. The popper doesn’t have a lot of nooks and crannies, but the tumbler does. (Honestly, if it were me, I’d wrap it and dispose of it with the pads and media.) 3) With air moving and suited up, spray down and clean every possible surface of your shop. Let it dry. Do it again. The safest thing is still to call someone who does Asbestos Remediation professionally, explain what happened, and just write the check. Life is too short, asbestos fibers are too dangerous, and lung cancer is entirely too deadly to mess around with this stuff.

A very good job, I'll give you grade 8. Actually, I'm used and addicted to "My Mechanics", the absolute master of restoration on KZread. And he is my perfection benchmark. The man behind that channel is obssessed for minimum details and has the tools and expertise to do the masterpieces he does. Of course he would find out a way to remove the staining of the ceramic to make it look brand new, and etc. But this is a very good job, not perfect, but ok. Go ahead.

Great restoration

Great Job on this Pop o Mat...I just did a repair on a similar/identical 2 prong contact with the ceramic insulator, which was also used on a 1923 Sunbeam Model B flat bed Toaster...the prongs were burned off from a short...I put mine into the bead blast cabinet with 120 grit glass bead media at 100psi, removed 99% of the stains, then i used Clorox Cleanup and toothbrush and got the rest...it came out like it was brand new !!

That looks great! These Corn Pop-O-Mat machines had a couple of different manufacturer labels--my grandparents had a one that said "Artel", and I've seen them in online auctions with an "Alart" label. I think you overloaded yours with a little too much popcorn, so it scorched. I remember my grandfather being very particular about how much to put in the pot; I think he used just enough to cover the bottom no more than two layers deep, so it could only make a single serving at a time.

In Spain we use olive oil to make popcorn instead of margarine, and the flavour is completely different, much better. In street stalls, palm oil or margarine is used, of course, but those made at home with corn (not microwave ones) are made with olive oil and the result is infinetely better. You should try it.

It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

I was a little 😬 when I saw you sandblast that cool decal. Glad you made another one for it. I have very good luck getting cooked on grease off of pans by letting them soak in white vinegar. If that’s grease on the white porcelain bit that the heating element is on, maybe soaking it in vinegar will help. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To answer your question, my favorite popcorn is my homemade kettle corn. Recipe 1/3 cup kernels 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup coconut oil sea salt for extra flavor. -Heat your coconut oil over medium heat in a large pot and add 2-3 kernels to the oil when it has melted (coconut oil I use is often in a solid state at room temp). -When the kernels pop you are at the proper temp, remove the popped kernels before they burn. -Add the remaining kernels and sugar to the pot and cover it with a lid, begin shaking the pot vigorously over the heat. -Once popping begins pay attention to the frequency of pops, when it slows you should be done. -Remove from heat and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on the freshly popped kettle corn then shake to distribute, repeat until your desired level of sweet and salty is achieved.
