Ok so the scenario is this: I have an old sandwich toaster from which the teflon has worn off. The electricity is still working properly and the thing heats up in no time at all. Note that mine does NOT print Dinsey figures on it. It's already being sorted as going into the recycling bin, but then I thought "Hey! It's still a working piece of equipment, why should I throw it away?" I also have a replacement for it, so I don't mind throwing it away anyways. To the real question: Do you guys have any thought of fun modifications or other weird/wacky things you could do with this working but heavily used sandwich toaster? Feel free to think outside of the box. Cheers!

Not the same thing as the toaster I posted. http://www.onoff.com/online/picdb.nsf/vPictures/54817/$file/prod_54817.jpg Edit: And I would not like the hatch to fall down on my carts. That would suck. :) And I excluded the idea of making it a joystick for an arcade machine, as I certainly don't want the lid to fall down on my fingers as I'm playing. Maybe I could make it into a distillery? =) It does not have to do anything with video games at all. Any fun idea you can come up with is qualified.

Seems like the sandwich toaster would be more suited to a CD platform than a cartridge one...

Maby I could use it to warm my shoes in the winter? That would be nice.

Or you can use it to make toast, that's a thought. :P

No. Since they would get stuck.

Teflon is the material that makes the food not stick to the toaster. This is why I wanted some alternatives. :) Edit:

Looks like no one has pointed out Make yet. I'm not really familiar with the site, but searching "toaster" yielded somewhat interesting results. You might find something good.
