Everything is up. Expectations are down. I was just fixing my toaster — a 70 year old Sunbeam Radiant Control Toaster. I could not afford to buy one of these today. My parents bought one.

$133.99 on ebay is the lowest price for a functional one. --- About 7 are listed as for repair and parts only. Priced much less. I see there is a website devoted to them

That toaster was covered in a popular Youtube video:

Some pretty clever old-school tech going on in that thing.
