Go go a Goodwill type store and look for an old model.

I am pretty sure it can be repaired. You can buy the resistor wire on rolls and re wire the thing. Those old ones are screwed together so you can take them apart and give the internals a good dose of looking at to see what's up with it. DO NOT throw it away.

Being an older unit, is there any way to repair it? That was made back when stuff wasn't throw away. I should have mentioned that the trouble I am having is that it does not want to pop the toast up when it finishes but makes a racket until you manually lift the toast. I have replaced the cord a couple of times. The fiber that lines the interior is disintegrating. This is a Proctor Silex.

Most new ones are junk the last one we picked up the setting numbers wiped off when we ran a rag over it, it has a lip that keeps the toast from popping all of the way up also. Like most China junk it's minimal efficiency at it's best.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!
