Arcade’s wall mount coffee grinders and mills use some type of catch cup. For example, Crystal No. 3 mill uses a glass receiving cup graduations marked at tablespoon levels, and X-Ray grinder uses a detachable cast iron cup.
A lot of the antique coffee mills being sold on eBay or other markets come with a replacement receiving cups. If you want the original matching cup, you must know what it looks like. If you need help with identifying the matching cups, please let me know. I can tell you what kind of cup each Arcade coffee mill uses.

Hi I have an arcade #3 that I just acquired but it does not have the metal part that holds the catch cup (some have springs/some don’t where do I find this part? Thanks
John says
eBay is your friend. That part comes off easily. Look for broken Crystal No 3 that still has the glass holder. I’ve seen them on eBay.

I found a Arcade model 1 catch cup original in like new condition. I never thought I would come across one. Can you tell me the rarity of it and although not for sale, what is the value of it ?

This mill was a rusty mess with a rusted through lid so it was cleaned to bare metal and repainted in semi-gloss enamel. It had new gasket material between the glass hopper and the body and a replacement lid was added along with a horseshoe catch cup. The grind is adjusted with the screw that goes through the back of the grinder.

I’m trying to find a replacement/reproduction of the X-ray cast iron catch cup. I found one place on eBay but they wanted $39 for it. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
