Sign - Off Topic!! [#offtopic]Sign - Oops [#oops]Way to fix toaster. First start by cutting the plug end off. Split the wire down the middle seperating the ground and hot. Then remove about 3/8" of insulation,exposing the copper wire. Next load toast ,dont forget to lock the toast in place (push down the lever). Finally walk over to your elect panel. Remove the six screws holding the cover in place. Finally there are several large wires at the top carefully touch wires to either the lugs or exposed cable. Caution this may result in burnt toast and a permanent perm or Afro. Also would advise having an ambulance on stand by just in case you need a little help. Dont worry about the toaster because it is now toasted. Sign - Oops [#oops]

Toasters are way to expensive and complicated.  Give me the plain old bread anytime. 

Besides, last time I put bread in mine, it let the magic smoke out of the bread. Dead [xx(]

Look at the price on this toaster on eBay:

$300?  Is this guy nuts?  It's not even DCC-ready!

The question is, do you want to operate more than two toasters at the same time?

And another thing - when the "toast-is-done" buzzer went off, my Toastmaster sounded more like a Sunbeam - not prototypical!

....at least the smoke was realistic.

Is your toaster DCC or DC? Is it far from the power source? Perhaps the solution for weak toast is to run feeder wires to it. Ken

I use a 10 gauge bus with 12 gauge feeders to each toaster.  I can do 16 slices at a time.

That's because you're using that low-end toaster you bought at Toasters-R-Us.  See, if you upgrade to the high-end wireless toaster system, you wouldn't have these problems.

Besides, the high-end toasters allow you to operate like a real chef.  Run your toast, not your toaster!
