How many oz. is a star mfg. model 59 popcorn popper

Hello, Tbibbe357 -

Focus Products Group owned the West Bend brand name until late 2016 when The Legacy Companies acquired the West Bend Electrics division.

Therefore, your "Focus Electrics" popcorn popper, model 82512, is also known as the West Bend Stir Crazy Theater-Style popcorn popper.

I found the manual for your machine on the West Bend [company] web site. You can link to the manual here:
https://www.westbend.com/support/user-manuals/popcorn-poppers.html
Choose the link to the for:
82512 - Theater Popper, 2.5 oz.

The manual is in PDF format, so you will need Adobe Reader software (free) to download it, save it to a file in your Documents folder (suggested name for the manual file: Popcorn Popper Manual), and print it for easy reference.

Best wishes.

Contact the manufacturer, info on the bottom of these pages. http://www.star-mfg.com/media/downloads/star/popcorn/G8-Y-s262-1020.pdf

The motor output shaft bushing might have came loose I have seen where it falls out of the motor and the shaft becomes real wobbly and it will cause excessive wear in the kettle cross bar bushing too. also make sure the cross bar and lid assy. is not come loose from the kettle.

Star 59 is an 8oz popper, they stopped making them in 1992. Parts are becoming very expensive, usually better to dispose of the machine.
I have some used parts available, depending on which ones you want, or you could try partstown.com for Star parts.

All popcorn machines use a 3or4:1 corn to oil ratio. More specifically the model 2085 is a 6 oz popper.

6oz. popcorn (3/4 cup)
1.6 - 2oz oil (1/4 cup)
1-2 tsp popcorn salt

I run a part-time hot dog stand in Nashville, TN. I've bought parts from Fine Entertaining . I'm better sure they sell popcorn popper. Paragon Popcorn Popper Thrifty Pop - the manual is under the resource section.

Hi,
I was able to find out that the Start 39 popcorn makers are 6 oz capacity. The star 86 models are 8 oz capacity. I could not find a model labeled "Star 59"
Here is a link below to the manufacturer's website that should help you.
