Vintage GE Toaster Ovens?

I just cannibalize a second machine for needed parts. So far I've been lucky on the toaster ovens not needing a fix, just the pop up toasters.

This is probably going to invite disaster, but I am still using the one I bought in 1975, mostly for toasting bagels.
Wow!
That's awesome!
I contacted the seller on Ebay, who refunded my money. So I'm not irritated anymore.
What I'm going to do is see if I can find a small appliance repairman who can do stuff to it. It's probably a simply solenoid problem. This one looks like it can be worked on, at least.

Ok, that's it - Malcolm has thrown out a challenge.... I will make it a point of taking photos when I am down at the house in Ogden this weekend!
I'll make it a picture thread
And show you the GE toaster oven and Waring blendor I picked up at Value Village yesterday... $7.99 for the oven, $6.99 for the blender..
This oven has woodgrain appliques on the side, some were just all black plastic sides and I've got one that is yellow which is the only non-black plastic one I've ever seen . This one is the toaster/broiler version and came with the broiler pan inserts which don't look like they've ever been used. The whole units pretty clean as well..

I try and stay away from thrift stores these days except for Habitat Restores but the draw can be quite overwhelming at times.
Munsey
Does anyone have information on Munsey toaster ovens? There's a rather large one at Savers currently. It's been there a while and would need a good cleaning. I'm kind of tempted.
Are we limiting the pix to GE only?

Ralph Munsey's were good toaster/ovens. My folks had the one by them was a flip over one used the coil on top for toasting and broiling and take out the glass shielded coverand tray and flip the unit over to bake. Had a dial for heat control and constant on. Was a early to mid 50's one.
I didn't get a picture of the Munsey when I was there. This one isn't the flip type. It's the larger style with front door so I presume it has coils on top and bottom. Looks to be a late 60's or 70's vintage. It appeals to me because it seems big enough to handle a decent sized baking dish.
I have a Kenmore (perhaps made by Dominion?) flip type and a Penncrest (appears to be Manning-Bowman) that also flips. Neither have much capacity, but both are in barely-used condition.
Here's the Kenmore. I guess I haven't taken a picture of the Penncrest yet.

Yep
That's a dead ringer for my Dominion. I use it at the farm all the time.

my grandmother had one just like that branded Dominion...she used it all the time with the timed outlet on her Hotpoint stove to cook a meatloaf and a couple potatoes...it fit on end right under her cabinet so she was pleased as punch with it...one time the element (open coil) separated and she twisted it back together herself and it worked for many more years.
We sold two Toastmaster models at the dept. store in the 70s; one was a flip over with one element and the more expensive one had elements top and bottom so it could do everything without acrobatics.
Here's the Penncrest. The reflection on the front trim is a cozy that's covering a KitchenAid K4 mixer.
Both ovens live in the basement since counter space is at a premium in the kitchen and I don't use them on a regular basis.

This one...
back in 2005 went for about $200 on ebay. It was one of those never used, new in box, wedding gift, found in an attic, type stories.
I have 2 just like it but they definitely are not in this condition.
