collected this from gavinskii today.(he bid for me as it was a christmas present for 'er indoors).got a question for any electrical people reading.
as this toaster is 100 volt and in the uk we are 240volt...would it damage it if i ran it through a 110 volt adapter?? would the extra 10 volts make much difference? i use some dewalt 230volt tools through the 240,so in theory it should be ok???
i don't understand electric much-i just want the wife to have some nice toast on christmas morning of which i will post some pics.
thanks in advance

With the 120V transformer and NOT setting the heat range (if it has that) to the max, should be ok. I'd be more worried with the metric bread slices

John, good to have seen you yesterday - I have been giving some thought to your dilema. The heat from a toaster is basically caused by resistance - like the filament in a lightbulb. IMHO using the stepdown transformer I gave you which pushes out 110 volt against the Japanese standard 100 volt system - its only a 10% difference and as the toaster is not full of critical tolerance circuits - I reckon it will be just fine.
Looking forward to you posting up some photos of your crumpet on Xmas morning |

Does it really toast VW on the bread? Or was that an artists' touchup.
Can't you use a voltage step-down transformer?

No extra for the paper, I just thought it'd be a fun touch if you noticed. 
When I moved into my house the previous owner was a little old lady who saved a basement full of those papers and left them for me...along with about 2,000 glass jars full of home canned vegetables from the 70's. Happy you finally got it Gavin! So as a cool sidenote, you should try googling volkswagen toaster now. There are bunches of articles about it now, and most of them were spurred by the ebay auction. My pics of it are all over the place, and long forums about the sale price and wish lists. Your purchase created a buzz!
