Wearever 72000 Pumper question

They are just as functional as the Popperies, but don't seem to get the same acclaim. Separating circuits was very easy to do... in fact, I recall following the Poppery I diagrams and advice with very little variation. Both of my Pumpers (1400 and 1250) are separated and work great. Give it a shot. If you get stumped, there are lots of kind folks here that can help you along.

As David said, this is easily overcome. A small (24v? 48v?) transformer should serve you well.

I'm thinking this may be part of the separation for the fan from the heater. I'm lookng for an always on fan (like .my Poppery I) "Even little kids in Mexico drink coffee".

The concept is the same as the poppery but you would have to trace the wires. I have one at home, but it is still in one piece , unlike my poppery :) -Jon Honey badger 1k, Bunn LPG-2E, Technivorm, Cimbali Max Hybrid, Vibiemme Double Domo V3

It's a bit of a stretch, but I've used this method a few times for finding old information.

I used linked-to website to help :)

Newbie Posts: 20 Joined: February 08, 2012	Thanks for the info! I did see that site before (when I was using a DC motor unit) but moved to the Poppery I and original Pumper after several thrift store units burned out quickly. I have to say that this "older" 72000 Pumper is built solid and runs strong. "Even little kids in Mexico drink coffee".

Newbie Posts: 20 Joined: February 08, 2012	Here's the JC Penney version of the first Pumper.....1400 watts of diecast joy. I have one of each. The Wear Ever is wired fan always on, heat controlled by switch, and thermal bypassed. The JC Penney is fan and heat controlled by switch with the thermal bypassed.

Newbie Posts: 2 Joined: May 15, 2012	Ah, the pumper. I have a couple. I like the upper part that is easily held on to while roasting. I modified mine with a fan-always-on switch and a second heat switch. I removed thermostat, and kept the thermo fuse in. One day I blew the thermo fuse and removed it. But I'm thinking of wiring in a resettable thermo fuse. Others have posted instructions for wiring. Make sure you use appliance wire if you're wiring inside the heater unit. Also, don't use solder. It will melt and throw lead into your beans (I learned this the hard way). Learn how to use clips to make your connections. Not difficult, and quicker, and neater. I use a soup can chimney with dial thermo punched in. To control the air flow, I attached a piece of card board to the end of my stiring stick. Works great. One thing: I'm learning to control the air better. Before, I tipped the roaster to the side a bit to let air flow out. But now I think this dries out the beans too much, or oxidizes them too mcuh. Now, the roaster is nearly vertical, creating a fluid motion in the beans that I stir with the stirring stick. It reminds me of a roasting chamber now. Good luck, Toney
