Replacement Coffee Roaster

Our Poppery II popcorn maker (used as a coffee roaster) has been slowing down on us. I can roast beens for 10 minutes and only obtain a light roast. While thrift store shopping this week I found a coffee roaster with the side vents for only $4. It looks identical to our poppery II except for the fluorescent green case. Our new coffee roaster is now burning beans if I leave them in for seven minutes. I hope we will not have to replace these units every year. I bet the heating element wears out.

Check the thermal fuse on the old popper. I had one do the same thing and a replacement thermal fuse totally fixed the problem.
OK, this is interesting! I just got my first batch of unroasted coffee beans. So you can't roast them in an oven?
I've read about people roasting in ovens and frying pans. I think the popcorn maker does a better job of roasting evenly than those techniques.
