If desired, I hope to give more information over the coming weeks on my popper modifications but as the subject's been brought up recently I wanted to start with a word of warning. It has been mentioned that there are several sites detailing the wiring of a popper and how to simply seperate the blower from the heater, however the sites I have seen have been exclusively American. Apart from the voltage difference, the Poppery II, that looks to all intents and purposes like the European Prima, IS WIRED IN A FUNDEMENTALLY DIFFERENT WAY. Attempting to follow the US diagrams will at best burn your motor out and at worse could be a serious fire hazard. My best advice is to take your popper apart and draw yourself a diagram so you know and understand how it works. I can provide a wiring diagram that is correct for the UK popper if desired though I can't be sure if it applies to the rest of Europe.
Having said all that, modifying your popper to seperate the blower from the heater is very easy and requires no more cost than that of a DC power supply to run the blower.
Didn't mean to patronize anyone or imply that any of us would do anything dangerous but I've never seen this simple difference documented anywhere and it's fairly important !
