Another beam of sun for the collection…

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well. Today, I stopped in Goodwill, and had to do a double take when I saw this sitting on the shelf. I’d wanted one of these for a while, but couldn’t justify the high price that they go for online. Needless to say, it quickly followed me home. I’ve ran it for about three cycles so far, and everything works. However, I believe the thermostat needs to be adjusted, as it gets the toast border-line burnt on the lightest setting. Overall, $8 well spent.

What is this?

Vintage toaster... I have one. You simply drop the bread in the slots and it goes away until it's done. Then just a nice click, and it slowly rises from the slots... ideally toasted to perfection, without the noisy mechanism ejecting the finished product. These were about 4 or 5 times the price of a cheap Proctor Silex in the 1980's. They were sold from somewhere back in the 1940's-1950's... 8 bucks is a deal, just needs to get the control working correctly.
