Corn Pop-O-Mat Popcorn Maker Restoration

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 ;).

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.

@kauske 8 ай бұрын

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! 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.

@DrRestoration Жыл бұрын

Good point. No need to worry it’s going to sit as a display piece in my house. These were also very easy to catch fire if hot oil got on the metal plate 🔥🙂

@jennifersvitko5997 Жыл бұрын

Those pads are probably asbestos, but the disk on the heating element is mica. Nothing to worry about.

@scottnanceutube 11 ай бұрын

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.

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 11 ай бұрын

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

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 KZfaq. 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.

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.

If that’s grease on the white porcelain bit that the heating element is on, maybe soaking it in vinegar will help. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
