There Used to Be Wall-in Toasters

Core77 introduces us to the KBT-100 toaster, an unusual kitchen appliance from the defunct company Modern Maid. It's for people who were very serious about their toast.

You see, you don't just slap it down on your countertop and plug it in. It slides into a hole in your kitchen wall (or bedroom wall--I'm not going to judge your private activities) and is hardwired into the household electrical system. Slide the drawer out to insert sliced bread or remove toast.

What's uncertain to me is if the hole was a custom size that would have to be cut into the drywall or if it could fit within a standard wall-hole that could be swapped out for other, more useful appliances, such as chocolate fondue fountains.

I'd like this along with one of those table top juke boxes that you could find at some diners. You'd put in a dime or a quarter and then flip through the pages of song choices that would play at your table. There used to be so many of them and then one day they were gone. I've never seen them in antique shops or on line. I wonder where they went?

I have been looking at infrared camera used to analyze heat loss due to insulation or poor construction. I wonder if (while off) this would be a leaking heat if connected to an external wall.
