    Until yesterday I would have said “my toaster”. But after about 25 years of service or so the heating element finally broke and there are no more spare parts around. So I guess it’s time to lay it to rest. It served me well.

        No it’s better: it didn’t break for 25 years. But I would have tried to repair it if it broke earlier. I mean… if I really really really wanted I might be able to find the same model somewhere on ebay. But breaking another toaster to repair mine would be a little insane.

        Good news is that the vendor (Krups) vows to keep spare parts available for 15 years. So I will definitely get another toaster from them.

      The wire element is the same that is used in a vape pen. You could splice over the broken area.
