1/4 Pounder Posts: 71 Joined: January 11, 2014	Anyone have any ideas how to either strip the teflon from the chamber or maybe even use a different chamber altogether? What things would I need to transfer the base of the current chamber to another of my choosing? I'm not too worried about the teflon, but I've noticed as i have been roasting some of the teflon on the bottom has stripped off, and I definitely dont want to be consuming any more teflon than I absolutely need to... THANKS! -Jim

Once I started seeing gouges in the Teflon I started checking my roasted beans but not really concerned. Any pieces of Teflon were sucked up by the Cooler. Now to put a base on another vessel. Cut the whole bottom out, leaving as much flat area as you can. Then, use RIVETS to fix it to whatever you have to put it on. Hope this helps. Ben.

1/4 Pounder Posts: 71 Joined: January 11, 2014	Thanks for the advice Ben! Extremely useful as always. I dont use a vacuum to cool the beans down, but I toss them around a lot. I doubt I'm getting any in my system, but I guess its something to think about. I mostly just want a reason to switch the base! Now to find a good vessel... -Jim

We have a bread machine that we actually use for bread that has screws, but not this one. Here are a couple pics if anyone has any ideas! https://imgur.com... -Jim

We have a bread machine that we actually use for bread that has screws, but not this one. Here are a couple pics if anyone has any ideas! https://imgur.com... You can't just remove the rotating mechanism. Some of the bottom of the pan has to go with it. Use a Dremel or other rotary cutting tool to cut out the entire bottom including the attachment mechanism. Include as much of the margins of the flat bottom as you can. A hacksaw will also work to cut the flat, square piece out of the bottom of the loaf pan. You'll end up with a 3-4 inch square that can be rivetted or bolted onto the next chamber you select. Here's how it looks on the bottom of the Red Kettle. . David attached the following image:

Pounder Posts: 546 Joined: March 14, 2012	Jim: ditto what David said plus if you look at the pics closely, you can see where we basically have a square with the corners cut off. This corresponds to the picture you posted. Plus, it is the same base that Dave posted. And the same base that I posted. Mine looks a little rougher, but they are all the same. I found that the breadpan is as flimsy as any breadpan and tinsnips work just fine. And an important thing to do is to try to get the riveter on the inside of the pan you attach it to,because the resulting rivet protrudes on the outside instead of the inside when you do it that way. I can look for more pics if you'd like. Ben Bad coffee prevails when good coffee roasters stand by and do nothing.

Pounder Posts: 546 Joined: March 14, 2012	Hi Jim. I thought to post a pic but the wire pair color is different.Does the blue/ white wire pair connect at a point on the board that says" motor" . That's your power connection. This was the case for a breadman I rewired. Bad coffee prevails when good coffee roasters stand by and do nothing.

Are you calling the motor start capacitor a starter? I agree with you that the blue and white pair that plugs into the control board is the pair he should intercept to power it from. Hot side of power cord from wall into on/off switch then to blue lead that was plugged into board. Neutral lead from power cord should go to white lead that was plugged into board. The blue and white leads I'm referring to are the pair now attached to the plug attached to the breadmaker control board.

So the hot side of the power cord and the blue wire go into the light switch, and the neutral and white wire are spliced together? -Jim
