Echols Corn Popper Parts

This machine was a freebie but I have a problem with it.When the popcorn starts coming out of the kettle, the kettle will tilt and the gears ( though they are actually like 2 bars) at the top stop making contact and it stops rotating the popcorn.This machine has a wierd locking mechanism.I searched and could not find a website for echols. Hoping somebody out their has this same model and maybe understands what I am talking about. I have to hold the handle sometimes to keep the kettle from tilting so it keeps rotating the popcorn.I believe model # is 490.
