I went to the Thrift store the other day in search for another toaster for the Case Mod. The thrift store was very disappointing and I won’t be going back to one any time soon… so many things wrong with thrift stores. They were selling IDE cables for a dollar… seriously … if IDE cables are worth a dollar I am sitting on a gold mine..
After that disappointment I went to Sears looking for toasters again. This time I went with the idea that the space between the cage where the bread goes and the beginning of the lever had to be an extremely small distance and the surface from top to bottom on the end had to be flat. This mindset really paid off. The model I found was another Oster. (Model: 6325)
Now this toaster was designed with a longer cage for waffles and such and the cage alone would not fit in the cube. Notice how short the distance from the beginning of the slot and the end of the toaster where the lever is.
The internals of this toaster are a jackpot, everything is modular and appears to be easily moved. The quality of this toaster is much higher than the other Oster I got from Walmart just a few days earlier ..This one has an all metal shell and is now 10$ cheaper. Out of the two, if I were to buy one for toasting alone this would be the one.. The only thing the other one has going for it is that it has a compact area where the bread goes.
