This video confirmed what i knew all along since the first time i saw this thing. The weird one-sided, brush-coated PCB, the trick with the wire zip tie... This thing comes straight out of a factory that normally produces japanese HiFi amplifiers. I'm not kidding, japanese amplifier manfucaturers have their own standards, tooling and personal for electronics manufacturing which were perfected in the early 90s or so and haven't changed since then. Just open some up, new or old, and you will find out what i mean. Even the idea, to create a 500$ toaster which seals and uniformly heats a friggin toast is so snobbish and absurd that it only can come out of the head of an audiophile. The fact that it actually works great can be attributed to the fact that it's a japanese audiophile tho.
Yup that circuit board looks exactly like my old mid 90's Mitsubishi CRT TV and VCR circuit boards. The TV had the schematics on it too, it allowed me to repair it once.
Can confirm, had to fix some Hitachi AC units and they had the exact same PCB designs. Seeing this comment now makes me respect Japanese engineering even more, their QA seems top notch.
Hello from Japan! Not sure about the rest, but the blinking light’s text says, “blinking light means hot, careful” and the numbers for the bread thickness is kind of a standard here of how many slices per loaf, smaller number thicker slices... cheers, always nice to see your videos

I for one follow the toasted to baked to fried progression, then follow the same path back fried to baked to toasted. The real question is, at what point your are willing to kill everybody in a 6 mile radius for a single chocolate covered Twinkie.
"The moment you try to lift the toast with the blade" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! The reason of all Teflon coated pans dying!!!! 10/10 video and product design!
Only when you actually gouge the teflon. Don't get me wrong, I'm not recommending the use of OLFA's for your spatula, but in a pinch, in a shop, with gentle precision. Good to go.
The thickness scale is how many slices there are in a loaf. Japanese loaves are about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of a regular loaf of white bread in the west. A 4 slice loaf will be cut into 4 slices, an 8, the same size loaf with 8 slices. 8 is the size of 'toast' bread in most countries. 6 is about as big as you can fit in a normal toaster. 4 looks like a slice of bread in a 1950s cartoon. Bread thickness in Japan (and most of east Asia) is a standard like wire gauge.
It occurs to me that all the things you do on this channel, are the same things I got scolded for as a child. I could not stop myself from taking apart everything in the house. I wanted to understand how they all functioned. It's probably the very reason I love this stuff so much!
I spent 20 years running an Engineering development lab in Japan for a major 'Merican company. Your description of the perfection of the country matches my experience. It is a wondrous place. I greatly admire the culture....and the food! Oh, speaking of food. $500 for the toaster, not as crazy as the $120 Giftable Cantaloupe!

But I do have a lot of Makita tools after I bought by mistake a awful green Bosch drill what a peace of junk I broke two of them within 2weeks. I dropped my Makita 3m from s scaffold and it got a small scratch in it done like the old germans respect.😂😂😂🇯🇵🇩🇪👍👍
I am incredibly baked and randomly stumbled upon this youtube video of a man disassembling a toaster and getting choked up about it. Oddly, I was going through the same emotions as I watched him parse apart the item and examine its design--SUBSCRIBED
I’ve found the same to be true about working with Japanese guys, when something needs fixed they fix it first and sort out who’s going to be blamed later. Refreshing after a career of doing government work.
I've found that they can debate about fasteners and whatnot until they reach consensus and take months about it. In the West we just glue the fucking thing and be done with it.
Thanks for sharing. The toaster in the video is a really nice piece of equipment. I have a Japanese hot water dispenser I am pretty pleased with. You might know already, but I recently read that Teflon was developed/discovered as an unexpected result from attempting to develop other synthetic materials. Its first application was using it to separate Uranium 235 from U-238 for the nuclear bombs in WWII.
the way that this unit was designed is beautiful, i certainly believe that all modern products for the price we as consumers pay should be designed with the attention to detail and ease of repair that this toaster unit was made with, it still confounds me that with the detail that many common products are considered irreparable due to how they are constructed, this toaster proves that they can
Oh my goodness it's so lovely watching AvE simply be in awe of a product he is tearing down, rather than ripping it to pieces as he rips it to pieces. Thank you Japan

Dewalt they name is Brutus... Now to back to work ..
I'd like to see a teardown of a Zojirushi 'neuro-fuzzy' rice cooker. They're an extremely well-engineered consumer kitchen tool (with a price to match!)
The basic neuro-fuzzy ones are very simple. There is nothing much to see inside. The induction heating, pressure cooking ones might be more interesting.
@@Yonatan24 Average is relative to period and region. There were no rice cookers my family owned that didn't have issues with burning or a need to monitor where and when I was growing up. Even as an adult, most of my friends and co-workers who have cheap rice cookers hate and never used them because they were no more convenient than just using a pot on the stove.
An FYI on those thermal fuses (made by Klixon, Snap-Disc, Thermo-Disc, etc) if you ever trip one. Remove it, and lay it flat/shiny face down on a flat table or countertop. Lay your hand, palm down, over the fuse to where you can "catch" it between 2 fingers, and lift it up with your hand remaining flat/open. Then slap it down hard, keeping it as flat as you can, against the table/countertop. Most of the time this causes the bi-metallic switch element to snap back and reset itself. (You may have to "slap" it a time or two if it doesn't reset the first time). The good thing is it doesn't force it to permanently close, as if it was jumpered out. It actually resets and functions as it should. I messed with several of these and made them open up on high temperature, "slapped" them back to life, then checked them out against their temp rating. They opened up within the +/-% rating of the switches. (I ran my water heater a tad hotter than most, and my dishwasher would trip the high limit/thermal fuse a couple times per year. I later lowered the heater to a more normal temp, and it never tripped again). Anyway, it verks!
I love the vastness of his intelligence sneaking past those filthy lips before he has a chance to stop it. It just blows me away how much knowledge this man contains in that coconut of his. Also, I don't think I have ever seen him show so much excitement for such quality engineering before this episode.
The same company makes: space station modules, scanning electron microscopes, oil tankers and refineries, elevators, vehicles... Stands to reason they can make a half decent toaster.
@@thehorriblebright Not me... I bought a Mitsubishi Super VHS-HiFi vcr that distorted the sound on loud bass, making a clicking noise everytime the bass drum sounded. Checked two more at the store and all were that bad. Forgot it and went to a Sanyo SuperBeta HiFi 7250, which sound quality is astounding, even used it for live concert recording just before digital went the norm.
14:50 Gold Star for me! Immediately recognized that as the same crap every toaster uses to heat. easy to deduce that there would be nichrome wire heating element in there. So fun to watch him reason through this stuff and generally very accurate. This case is on point the whole way through I ended up taking apart and rebuilding an espresso machine. not boiler type and a simple ukle pump. It was nicely put together and a joy to disassemble and reassemble. As though it were a project puzzle. The machine was prob from around early 2000 made by breville. Did same with a 2015 model or so of same brand but much more expensive model...it was a nightmare....example of difference the older entry level one was plates of stainless, the newer more expensive one was plastic with thin sheets of stainless, held on with little tabs that fold over lol
Back when I was a galley slave-boy, toast was made with fire and a certain amount of human adjustment to achieve the desired level of carbonisation. Not made by space-pixies or electrickery! What a time to be alive!
The craft in that toaster is amazing, not seen anything like it from a mass market company before. It makes the price appear great value in return. I love it, thanks for showing it. Wonderful Bob
Lmao. That's the blue collar canadian special my friend. If ya weren't a hoser you'd know bud. Spend 10 minutes on my zamboni and you'll start to speak the lingo eh.
God, I love working on Japanese things so much. Electronics, yes, but especially early 90s Japanese cars. ...When they collide it's even better. I re-capped the ECU and gauge cluster in a 1993 Camry a few days ago and the circuit boards were all labeled with precision just like this thing. It brought tears to my eyes.
"Hot pocket-y, chicken tendies, that sort of thing...will attack the silicone." AVE may very well be the only owner of a $500 toaster likely to defile said toaster with store-brand Chicken tendies.

Amn old story, this would probably be from the 1970's, when component manufacture was shifting from the US to Japan. A US electronics manufacturer decided to send a part order to see what these newish Japanese semiconductor makers. In the order was a standard specification for an acceptable defective part rate. This apparently confused the Japanese, as included in the shipment was an explanatory note: "We have packaged defective components separately. We hope that this pleases you."
Never in my jeezlus days of watching Uncle B take Aypart anything have i seen him so gushy gooey over a mechanical contraption. I think this isolation thing might be playing with his mind...
If you are looking for another Japanese Toaster with a similarly absurd price tag to tear down, Japan's Balmuda Toaster Oven that was released four years ago was released in the US a few weeks ago at the sky high price tag of $329. Could be interesting to see a battle of the Japanese Toaster Ovens
exactly my thoughts, have a knock off foreman grill. I cook sliced peameal bacon on it. Fry that put it on toast with cheese and veggies and what ever sauce and fry it again. cost: 20 Canadian pesos taste: priceless, fkn delicious.

I for one follow the toasted to baked to fried progression, then follow the same path back fried to baked to toasted. The real question is, at what point your are willing to kill everybody in a 6 mile radius for a single chocolate covered Twinkie.
"The moment you try to lift the toast with the blade" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! The reason of all Teflon coated pans dying!!!! 10/10 video and product design!
Only when you actually gouge the teflon. Don't get me wrong, I'm not recommending the use of OLFA's for your spatula, but in a pinch, in a shop, with gentle precision. Good to go.
The thickness scale is how many slices there are in a loaf. Japanese loaves are about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of a regular loaf of white bread in the west. A 4 slice loaf will be cut into 4 slices, an 8, the same size loaf with 8 slices. 8 is the size of 'toast' bread in most countries. 6 is about as big as you can fit in a normal toaster. 4 looks like a slice of bread in a 1950s cartoon. Bread thickness in Japan (and most of east Asia) is a standard like wire gauge.
It occurs to me that all the things you do on this channel, are the same things I got scolded for as a child. I could not stop myself from taking apart everything in the house. I wanted to understand how they all functioned. It's probably the very reason I love this stuff so much!
I did the same but as kid I couldn't figure out how to put it back together!
I spent 20 years running an Engineering development lab in Japan for a major 'Merican company. Your description of the perfection of the country matches my experience. It is a wondrous place. I greatly admire the culture....and the food!
Oh, speaking of food. $500 for the toaster, not as crazy as the $120 Giftable Cantaloupe!
I also love this aspect. But then you get to the insane red tape, the jobsworthism "the rules say this, we're technically compliant so fuck you" and it starts to get annoying.

And I much rather a 500$ toaster that will last me 10-15 years then a craptacular 100$ one that will make me cuss and curse for 5-7 years

*Germany*: das bestest engineering
*Japan*: hold my (culturally demanded obsessive attention to detail) chopsticks
It took Japan 2 years to create the world's smallest drill bit. Upon announcement, Germany 2 weeks later drilled a hole through it.
Just imagine what could be accomplished if those two worked together!
Actually, maybe they shouldn't.

But I do have a lot of Makita tools after I bought by mistake a awful green Bosch drill what a peace of junk I broke two of them within 2weeks.

How did I go from scoffing at a piece of overpriced toaster to wanting one thanks to that perfectly toasty bread...?
Those crafty bastiges sure know how to engineer a toastie maker, I got hungry just watching the intro.
It was the melted cheese. Got me too.
I am incredibly baked and randomly stumbled upon this youtube video of a man disassembling a toaster and getting choked up about it. Oddly, I was going through the same emotions as I watched him parse apart the item and examine its design--SUBSCRIBED
" you put a hot pocket in that father mucker, boy howdy shut the front door"
This is my new favorite thing to say
I’ve found the same to be true about working with Japanese guys, when something needs fixed they fix it first and sort out who’s going to be blamed later. Refreshing after a career of doing government work.
they are very customer orientated. At the end of the day, if you can fix your customer's issue, he/she will keep coming back.
I've found that they can debate about fasteners and whatnot until they reach consensus and take months about it. In the West we just glue the fucking thing and be done with it.
You missed the opportunity to say that the "FR" setting is for glass fiber reinforced bread. My favorite!
The Tyttuutface is the FR frozen?
Nah. It stands for Fire Retardant.

Thanks for sharing. The toaster in the video is a really nice piece of equipment. I have a Japanese hot water dispenser I am pretty pleased with. You might know already, but I recently read that Teflon was developed/discovered as an unexpected result from attempting to develop other synthetic materials. Its first application was using it to separate Uranium 235 from U-238 for the nuclear bombs in WWII.
the way that this unit was designed is beautiful, i certainly believe that all modern products for the price we as consumers pay should be designed with the attention to detail and ease of repair that this toaster unit was made with, it still confounds me that with the detail that many common products are considered irreparable due to how they are constructed, this toaster proves that they can
Oh my goodness it's so lovely watching AvE simply be in awe of a product he is tearing down, rather than ripping it to pieces as he rips it to pieces. Thank you Japan
Everytime I go to take a 💩 I find myself falling down a rabbithole that ends with a Canadian man of great wisdom reminding me with witty and clever commentary that every tool I own was built to inevitably fail and in the end my legs have fallen asleep and I have a better understanding of Caesars last moments ....

You should probably stop poopin' in rabbit holes. Although their fur is useful for when everyone's panic bought all the shitpaper.
I'd like to see a teardown of a Zojirushi 'neuro-fuzzy' rice cooker. They're an extremely well-engineered consumer kitchen tool (with a price to match!)
The basic neuro-fuzzy ones are very simple. There is nothing much to see inside. The induction heating, pressure cooking ones might be more interesting.
They make fluffy rice
Seconded. I've had one of these for over 10 years now, with weekly use and no signs of degradation.
@@codbug Same, probably close to 15 years. What's so impressive about it? Seems average, no?
@@Yonatan24 Average is relative to period and region. There were no rice cookers my family owned that didn't have issues with burning or a need to monitor where and when I was growing up. Even as an adult, most of my friends and co-workers who have cheap rice cookers hate and never used them because they were no more convenient than just using a pot on the stove.
I've only just discovered AvE's videos and am hooked. The quality of his videos are only matched by the comments section. Bravo to all. :)
An FYI on those thermal fuses (made by Klixon, Snap-Disc, Thermo-Disc, etc) if you ever trip one. Remove it, and lay it flat/shiny face down on a flat table or countertop. Lay your hand, palm down, over the fuse to where you can "catch" it between 2 fingers, and lift it up with your hand remaining flat/open. Then slap it down hard, keeping it as flat as you can, against the table/countertop. Most of the time this causes the bi-metallic switch element to snap back and reset itself. (You may have to "slap" it a time or two if it doesn't reset the first time). The good thing is it doesn't force it to permanently close, as if it was jumpered out. It actually resets and functions as it should. I messed with several of these and made them open up on high temperature, "slapped" them back to life, then checked them out against their temp rating. They opened up within the +/-% rating of the switches. (I ran my water heater a tad hotter than most, and my dishwasher would trip the high limit/thermal fuse a couple times per year. I later lowered the heater to a more normal temp, and it never tripped again). Anyway, it verks!

I love the vastness of his intelligence sneaking past those filthy lips before he has a chance to stop it. It just blows me away how much knowledge this man contains in that coconut of his. Also, I don't think I have ever seen him show so much excitement for such quality engineering before this episode.
The blinking light is
点滅: 高温注意
“When blinking: Caution, Hot”
The same company makes: space station modules, scanning electron microscopes, oil tankers and refineries, elevators, vehicles... Stands to reason they can make a half decent toaster.
I even had a Mitsubishi vcr back in the 90s. A really good one at that with a teachable section on the remote.
Don't forget heavy arms.
and stonking rally cars, batteries, large scale transformers
@@thehorriblebright Not me... I bought a Mitsubishi Super VHS-HiFi vcr that distorted the sound on loud bass, making a clicking noise everytime the bass drum sounded. Checked two more at the store and all were that bad. Forgot it and went to a Sanyo SuperBeta HiFi 7250, which sound quality is astounding, even used it for live concert recording just before digital went the norm.
they were probably bored & hungry waiting for parts to turn up,so they made a toaster in the mean time,then said,shit,we could sell these.
I never imagined that I'd ever watch a grown ass man get so excited about a toaster.
This is not your average toaster though, that toaster is just a thing of beauty.
You haven't watched the technology connections radiant heat toaster videos?
@@Savagetechie Oh jeah, I did.. I totally forgot about that one :)
14:50 Gold Star for me! Immediately recognized that as the same crap every toaster uses to heat. easy to deduce that there would be nichrome wire heating element in there.
So fun to watch him reason through this stuff and generally very accurate. This case is on point the whole way through
I ended up taking apart and rebuilding an espresso machine. not boiler type and a simple ukle pump. It was nicely put together and a joy to disassemble and reassemble. As though it were a project puzzle. The machine was prob from around early 2000 made by breville. Did same with a 2015 model or so of same brand but much more expensive model...it was a nightmare....example of difference the older entry level one was plates of stainless, the newer more expensive one was plastic with thin sheets of stainless, held on with little tabs that fold over lol
Back when I was a galley slave-boy, toast was made with fire and a certain amount of human adjustment to achieve the desired level of carbonisation.
Not made by space-pixies or electrickery!
What a time to be alive!
You know I can't help but think that the addition of some heating elements could turn the legendarily overbuilt Juicero into an epic panini press....
Label says: In case of blinkenlights, no touching of the hot stuff
The craft in that toaster is amazing, not seen anything like it from a mass market company before. It makes the price appear great value in return. I love it, thanks for showing it.
Wonderful

This guy is speaking english and I can't understand a word he's saying

God, I love working on Japanese things so much. Electronics, yes, but especially early 90s Japanese cars. ...When they collide it's even better. I re-capped the ECU and gauge cluster in a 1993 Camry a few days ago and the circuit boards were all labeled with precision just like this thing. It brought tears to my eyes.

AvE you're the best TH-camr out there... not joking. Why? Tacit knowledge transfer. What knowledge you can't convey in a book, is the hardest to teach. You've essentially created a community of apprentices, learning knowledge from your videos that you can't learn anywhere else, from anyone else...!
It's says "blinking: caution high temperature"
Indeed it does
On this episode of BOLTR: AvE cries tears of joy while taking apart a toaster.
Amn old story, this would probably be from the 1970's, when component manufacture was shifting from the US to Japan. A US electronics manufacturer decided to send a part order to see what these newish Japanese semiconductor makers. In the order was a standard specification for an acceptable defective part rate. This apparently confused the Japanese, as included in the shipment was an explanatory note: "We have packaged defective components separately. We hope that this pleases you."
Sounds about right.
Looks like a skookum choocher to me! I love hearing AvE so happy when doing a tear down. Sad how far and few between devices of this quality are.
Never in my jeezlus days of watching Uncle B take Aypart anything have i seen him so gushy gooey over a mechanical contraption. I think this isolation thing might be playing with his mind...
The red wire with the ring terminal thing ;) to hold other wires in place was also very common in older Japanese electronic gear, too.
Man i love this guy. I truly believe he is naturally funny, much funnier than many many stand up comedians and actors.
2:00 That's a disguised Nox button, just in case a Subaru toaster shows up
Doesn't need to worry, the subaru will blow it's headgasket long before it arrives
"I don't judge...except them. They suck." Worth the price of admission.
Wait a minute.. he used it first THEN he took it apart?!
He was hungry, I won't fault him for that. 😂
The grease helps to loosen the screws for disassembly
Well, he's AvE rather than dAvE.
Obviously, he wanted that warm virgin feeling before he bust for all she had.
Who knows how long it would have spent on the healing bench...
If you are looking for another Japanese Toaster with a similarly absurd price tag to tear down, Japan's Balmuda Toaster Oven that was released four years ago was released in the US a few weeks ago at the sky high price tag of $329. Could be interesting to see a battle of the Japanese Toaster Ovens
Hey, Ave! Thank you for your advice at 19:45, that fuse was really the issue why the bottom heater wont heat. I owe you a beer!
Nice troubleshooting! Pew Pew!
That red wire to "nothing at all" seems like a heat resist way to hold those wires in place.
That's another detail that was common in Japanese stereo gear. Good catch!
Either that or its the antenna so it can bounce ones and zeros back to the mothership
It also provides a convenient jumper for bypassing the thermo fuse when the time comes.
