Vintage gravity toaster

[turquoisedude]

The bolt holding the adjusting screw probably came loose after decades of use.  Last one like this that I serviced, I used a dab of Loc-Tite to hold the bolt in place.  It's still toasting!

It 's not like the whole thing is vibrating like an old Harley ???

Perhaps the metal simply warped or fatigued? After all, repeated thermal cycling is basically the primary function of a toaster!

I prefer my gravity well-done.

Rich,

I don't understand the point of mocking someone who writes in an unusual language.

 

[sudsmaster]

Oh, Quebecois, don't be so sensitive. Also, you should know that my grandparents were from Trois Rivieres, Quebec. So I would be quite unlikely to mock you about your language.

 

However, perhaps this is the toaster you're looking for?

 

C'est vrai, sans doubt?

I finally gave up with the GE, the handle used to push the bread slices down fell apart in four small pieces.

Knowing when to quit is a huge part of any challenging repair project.  You gave it your best shot.  Another vintage toaster will come along for your daughter.

 

I'm not ready to give up on my short circuiting vintage Osterizer Cyclomatic blender since there are no broken parts -- yet.
