Me, a few years ago.  I restored (to daily-driver status) an old
Toastmaster clockwork toaster, because of the model's sentimental
value in my mother's family.  She loved the retro (original!) look
and it fit right in to their Airstream trailer decor.

Was a PITA, but the thing actually was pretty easy to service.
The things will run for years.
