All of this toaster talk is attracting a bad ELEMENT.

Only Bergie can get us out of this JAM. I need a toaster, and all I get is a PUN WARMER.

We have the smoke, but come on, we need those authentic toaster sounds!

I haven't tried the peralbutter trick.. though I did find that on the older models, the screws holding some of the components to the frame sometimes work loose because of the heating elements expanding the metal frame.
I just drilled ou the holes so the 4-40 screws could pass through the frame, and secured them with a nut and washer on the other side. The nut & washer will be hidden by the streamlining shroud when you put the toaster back together.

All of these toyish toasters, 2 slice models and toasterovens make me queasy! Why can't I get a nice INEXPENSIVE 4 slot toaster? In the heyday of toast, you could get a nice shiney 4 slot toaster for about 15 bucks. The banks were giving away decent 2 slot models if you opened an account with them.
Now you are forced to have extra wide slots for bagels, designer colors, matching coffee pots and clocks built in. Who needs a clock? You're making toast for heavens sake, it breakfast time! That clock will drive the price of toasters through the roof! If this technotoast trend keeps up, we'll all have to shell out more bread for toast.
Sorry for the rant, I had some dry toast to settle my stomach. I feel much better!
It must be Christmas, but here's my complaint...
Both my Toast and Model Toaster mags have been getting here a couple weeks later than usual. I can't stand it! Everyone's talking about the new article on Q-21 resistors or the ergonomic handle on the upgrade of the Phillips AC4400CWatt, and I'm left here trying to google pictures but coming up with the old trash 9 series with DC heater coils!
GAH!

Hmmm, Really don't know, but it looks "southern steamed rail toast' that has also been "tenderized!
I just read this the first time. Very clever. Perhaps you can actually manufacture some of these and sell them on the internet with pop-up advertising.
I like the creations such as the Boston & Maine toaster. I suppose, I could call my toaster the Zephyr because it is all stainless steel.
Have fun everybody.
while true, this thread is a lot more lighthearted than the troll-created threads that spawned it's creation...
Dave, do you happen to have a link to any manufacturers that make the ToastPhone detail parts?

Alex is having too much fun with paint...
You are all just whistling past the graveyard ... toastmaking is dying! Dying, I tell you.
Real toastmakers bake their own bread and slice it themselves. You people with your Ready To Toast bread are taking all the craftsmanship out of making toast. Everyone knows you aren't a _serious_ toastmaker unless you slice your own. As the aging scratch slicers leave the hobby, it's bound to die. I'm an expert in all the demographics ... I was in an appliance section once.
In the good old days of toast Frank Jellyson and Jam Allen were _real_ toastmakers. Now, Toast Monthly has nothing but pictures of breakfasts of people who bought their bread pre-sliced ... even some who get their toast from a restaurant ... they didn't even make that toast themselves! In fact, anyone who doesn't look just like me and toast just the way I do is not a _real_ toastmaker.
And have you seen the price of toasters? Way more than in 1956, when 1 out of 5 kids toasted their own bread.
If you think all those modern toaster strudels and pop tarts and toaster pastries are real toast, they're not. Your kidding yourselves if you think toasting can last long in the future -- it's a dying art, I tell you!

The smoke unit is working overtime on my toaster! I know I know, serious toasters don't use smoke!
Hey, no bad mouthin' Mike's Toast House...
He went to court on behalf of the whole toast hobby about the Toaster Pacific licensing issue... Because of that we can now run any toastname we want without paying the lawyers!

Mike's Toast House..very good. Full marks for that one, Nelson. Do you have one that says, "My BLI (ex-Lionel) K4 will kick your K4's butt all around your layout?"
