My dad used to fix our toasters all the time. They usually ended up 
working, but with some unusual quirk, when he was done.  I remember one 
that had to be released manually after he fixed it, or the bread would 
eventually catch fire; and another that, after he was done fixing it, 
would not just pop up the toast, but actually eject it about a foot into 
the air.  We used to try to catch it.
