Trolling The Thrift Stores.

$79 still not bad but a year ago these were going for $120-$140. I sold a few of them for that plus shipping on top as did others. Then they started showing up so much prices fell. Same with the Sunbeam T30 toasters, the ones that self lower etc.. those used to command good money but now only fetch $30-$50 which is still very good considering you can find them quite often for $5

Did the toasting rack of any of those models actually come out?
They really were hard to clean.

Any pics of the ones in your collection?

Interesting how some had the start button on the panel, and others had the start button next to the open button.
Was there a red signal light on the latter models?

Nice job on the Toast-R-Oven Steve. Aren't those the handiest little things?

None of them have removable racks for easy cleaning that's why I'd never do anything that splatters etc. The ones that are called Toaster/Oven/Broiler came with that special broiling rack, the earlier ones didn't call themselves Broilers and you didn't get the rack either. I believe the first models out were the ones that had the start button down by the door opener. Don't have one of those at the moment.
Here's the yellow one I use with more faux-bois sides

Agreed.

The rosating/baking pan has high sides the extend all the way up the left and right sides to within a few mm of the heating elements.

The broiler/grille grid is "L" shaped with a very high back.
and sits in the roasting pan.

When one is properly inside the other (*WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?
8) there are high-wall surrounds on both sides and rear of the tray "Protecting the toaster from dirt *HA!*

Still it was a *itch to clean and I took a slice out of my finger.
