Step 6Assembly of the VHS toaster
The main push-to-activate lever was bent around a piece of stiff plastic tube. In the horizontal position this now pushes forwards, rather than down as in the original toaster.
I hacked the play button from the video, and attached it to the tube with a screw, before adding epoxy glue to finish off.
The toast brownness control was simply set at a reasonable level and left there, I'd spent too much of the weekend on this already to be finding an adaption for that.
An "exit ramp" was formed from another piece of steel sheet. This guides the toast from the chrome rack, out through the VHS slot. Another spin with the Dremel-a-like cut slots in the front panel to secure the ramp at that end. The other end of the ramp was tucked into the toaster heat-shield / reflector (see images).
After that, back on with the case and let's start toasting!
