Nice looker shame about the switch.

This could be a great little toaster (mines the 4 slice version)but the switch has a design fault. The mechanical part of it is like a clock.Take the switch out and wind it up, you will be able to stop it by placing your finger on the ends of the wheels that turn. The ends of the spindles just poke through the casing a tiny amount, you will also see the flywheel stop turning when you do this.I think these wheels should run in a jewel like a watch instead of the metal casing which will wear or hold dirt.I have put a tiny amount of cycle oil on these spindle ends and it seems to have made it better-but for how long? Maybe when the oil dries out it will be back to sticking again. Still maybe worth a try.Just thought I'd put my 5 pence worth in.
