Hello all!

Looks really good needs a heavy clean up job done, and definatly I think needs to be rewired. The popcorn holder needs a good old scrubbing and CLR bath for sure.

Yeah, the only thing we got to work on was cleaning up the lightswitch cover (which was COVERD in rust) and we got that thing SUPER shiney lol Its going to be repainted and rewired as well.

Your making me hungry for some popcorn...

Anyways, after your done that thing will look brand new
Or maybe it'll look like you went back to the past and brought your family's friend's newly bought popcorn machine back to the present?
