You do NOT want to sew over the popper. Instead, use a narrow zipper foot and adjust your machine needle to stitch just on the very edge of the tape. Hitting a popper will definitely break your needle and possibly knock the machine out of time.
Be sure to get the right foot to fit your machine!
Gold Medal Model number 2012 is for a 28x48 4 wheel cart only, it is not a popcorn machine.
Astro Pops are model 2010, have been for 30+ years.
Their Manuals are not publicly available because they have changed many, many times and the odds of you getting the correct one is slim.
What parts are you looking for? and what is the manufacture date of the machine?, the serial plate is in the lower right hand corner of the cabinet, behind the cart doors if there are doors.
We got a Lincoln Popper from discounttommy.com and had the same problem. We sent the whole motor assembly to them for replacement on 10/17/09. It's 1-7-10 and the machine still doesn't work. This company has the worst bunch of incompetent morons I've ever dealt with! They have dropped the ball every step of the way and offered NO apology!! I even spoke to the owner and he defended their 'Customer Service Manager' who has done nothing but screw everything up!! Incredible!! The motor they sent spun in reverse, they sent the wrong size gear for it and they sent the wrong piece that goes above the kettle around the motor gear shaft. And that's just half of the story!! Our PTA had to go and by a Gold Label machine from a local vender for over $450. because discounttommy could not replace the motor before we needed it again on 12-3-09 for concessions and they had 6 weeks to do it!!
So my solution is to AVOID discounttommy.com first of all and avoid these cheap machines. Gold Medal is the best machine. It has metal gears unlike the cheap junk machines plastic gears. Trust me on this please!!
