I ordered two. They were $2.00 each plus shipping.
I navigated to the parts area, to the popcorn. Here is the link. http://www.focuselectrics.com/catalog.cfm?dest=itempg&itemid=3678&secid=53&linkon=category&linkid=90
Hope this helps.

West Bend took over this company and no longer provides plastic window replacements. I fixed mine by super gluing the window and attaching a small strip of wood on top of the 2 plastic window pieces with small bolts (super glue pieces so wood can be properly attached because glue alone will not hold up to the heat). Not attractive but it works. (West Bend rep told me windows break because of high heat, but I only used mine over medium heat; I think they break at the spot where the raised lid hits the gear mechanism holder.)

The manual says, place butter in cup, hook cup onto the rim of the pan below the "butter cup"marking on the lid, and the butter will melt and drip evenly onto the popcorn as it pops. I haven't tried it; hope it works for you.

The manual says to put 1 to 3 tablespoons of oil in the popper, and when hot, add 1/2 cup popcorn. Salt it after dumping the popped corn into a bowl.

yes, this popper is the same at the Whirley Pop, which is the original. There shoud be a clip on the side opposite of the handle and one that is underneath the handle. Both should be fastened.

Parts suppliers. https://www.google.com/search?q=Back+to+Basics+4500+electric+meat+grinder+parts It looks like Rival plates might fit. There is a new one here for $87 https://www.ebay.com/itm/185409893297?epid=1103894425 ..

I suspected might have a bad thermal sensor that's what's designed to turn on the heating element or the heating element could be bad it's only a $35 item you can get it on eBay for about 15 bucks I just suggest get another one especially if you like it
