The verdict - Burmester 232 is worth MUCH MUCH MUCH more than its price!!!

Integrated is very pretty. I have a sunbeam toaster and it’s a very pretty chrome toaster. This is a very unique toaster from the early 60s you literally do not have to touch the toaster to get toast. It has an automatic lowering mechanism and you just have to place the toast in the slot and wait for it to rise when done. It has a bimetallic sensor that senses temperature of toast.  No timer purely mechanical it’s a marvel of technology.

The integrated you have is no doubt a marvel of technology. 

@ghdprentice I really did put together the system. Zoom in on the clock in the photo. Today’s date and time are displayed.

One has to join the Burmester facebook group to see your system pics. I don’t think most people are willing to join another group just to be able to see the pics. Better to create a virtual system on audiogon. 

@ghdprentice I am a Derivatives Trader with a graduate degree in Accounting from the Red McCombs Graduate School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. “Hundreds of thousands” is nothing new to me.

OP,

Cool, So you spent a LOT more than $50K. 

I think you see different things. I am not a member of the group... so I doesn’t let me in. I see a really fancy all Burmeister system.
