Had a couple frustrating days ... - 01/27/20 04:34 AM
I have one of the counter size 8 ounces popcorn popper and eat 2 or 3 meals a week for it. Went to turn it on thurs evening all set for some corn... just as put the rocker switch to turn it on... it wen POW! no Corn... Had to eat salami and cheese sandwich. I didn't figure out it would be any problem finding a new switch. I started Friday morning running around trying to find a replacement. I roan around about half the town, and no one carried them anymore. SO Friday night Dinty Moore chicken and dumpling. Started sat. and found one similar at a farm store, the man guaranteed me it was what I needed. Took it home connected it, plugged it in and POW.... blew another one. STARTED MORE RUNNING.... couldn't find one. I check in total 12 stores. All stores used to carry these simple little devils. Half of them didn't even know what I was talking about a "Rocker Switch"???????
So, when I got home sat. evening I called my cousin in Illinois and he told they had all kinds of them on Amazon. He said his wife was getting ready to send it an order. for me to find what I needed and send him the url. I checked out Amazon and found when I needed and sent him the info. He called me about an hour later and said to be home Sunday that it would be delivered sometime today. I thought I would keep a watch in case some neighbor had sticky fingers. I went to look out at 9:45 AM and the darn thing had already had it there. I had paid over $8.00 for the one replaced that blew and these I got for 8 of them for $8.95 cents. So I am fixed in case that swith or one of the other 2 blows.
I don't know where they shipped it from, but it sure got here quick and no postage. I spent 6 or 7 hrs. 55miles hunting one. A replacement from the company I bought the popper from wanted $19.95 for the switch and $9.95 for the part and would take 3 to 5 day to get it.
