I sent Tim what looked like a hopeless case. My mom's old Sunbeam T20B was in terrible shape! What came back looked like a brand new toaster, and it worked like a new one, too. Can't say enough nice things about my experience: Great communication throughout the restoration, too. Tim is truly a Master of his trade!

I ordered a T-35-1 off eBay thinking it was a minor issue that I could repair myself. After tear down, I realized I was in way over my head. I looked everywhere for someone to repair my new joy and I found Tim. I called Tim and we discussed the issues I was having and he assured me that he would be able to make it better than new and I mailed it off to Ohio. Tim communicated with me about everything during the process and was able to give me some of the history behind the toaster. He even told me that the person who sold it to me had taken the original T-35-1 cover and replaced it with a different one. When I got the toaster in the mail I was astonished! I couldn't believe it was the same toaster! It looks brand new and it's now safer with a polarized and grounded power cord. If I could put 6/5 stars I would. When you trust Tim with your toaster you will get excellent work done by a genuinely good and kind person. My toaster wasn't a family heirloom, but if yours is and you may be hesitant sending it off to a stranger, give Tim a call or shoot him an email and you won't be strangers for long! He is the person to trust when it comes to Sunbeams.

After a somewhat frustrating search to find the perfect person to repair my grandmother’s T35, I came across this website. After getting to know Tim via several email messages the toaster was safely in his hands. I was given daily updates with pictures, and I could tell he understood the real value of my toaster. As I’ve gotten to know him just through my experience with granny’s toaster, It’s absolutely clear to me that every person who has a toaster done by Tim is treated exactly the same way. The world needs more people like Tim. He sure made an impression on me - not just with his super high class toaster work but with his awesomeness! Had I not known better I would’ve thought he sent a brand new toaster!!

Tim and his team recently restored an old Sunbeam toaster that was given to my wife. The toaster was a family heirloom and had finally called it quits. Tim and his team took it apart, fixed and cleaned everything, and returned it looking and functioning as brand new. So many new consumer products are "throw away" and it was refreshing to find someone passionate about restoring something. I can give no higher recommendation - Tim is the tops.

I received a sunbeam t20 toaster from my mom, since has passed. My daughter now has the toaster. I ordered a base for it and after a long search Tim found one and repaired it like new. Input it on my toaster and all looks new and of coarse the toaster works wonderful. Thanks for helping me restore this heirloom for my daughter. John.

I am the proud owner of a Sunbeam T20B toaster that was made in 1955 which belonged to my grandmother and then my mother. It is very special to me not only for sentimental reasons, but also because it operates "majestically" (as Tim notes) and results in the BEST toast ever. My toaster stopped working a few years ago and I was forced to tolerate toast from a somewhat pedestrian toaster. When I remembered my very special Sunbeam, I decided to troubleshoot to see if the issue was an obvious one. As I am not mechanically inclined, taking the Sunbeam apart was rather brave and also rather terrifying. When there was no obvious issue I realized I needed help. Researching online, I was excited to learn that these toasters have a serious fan base and that I was not alone in holding them in such high esteem. Everything I read on Tim's website assured me that he is the one to trust with Sunbeam toaster repairs or restoration. I contacted Tim via email on February 1 raising the white flag of surrender and he immediately called me. He listened to my repair saga and explained his passion and expertise when it comes to these particular beauties. The cost was considerable to me, but I decided it was well worth the investment to restore this heirloom. I was thrilled when Tim said there was no need to put it back together first, and I lovingly packed up all the parts and shipped the toaster to Ohio. Aside from looking forward to having my grandmother's toaster restored by Tim, I looked forward to his thorough and thoughtful email updates and photos of the progress. I liked hearing about all the parts of the process and how each of his team members were involved. My beautifully restored toaster arrived safely home to me on February 19 and it felt like Christmas! The custom-labeled box and blast from the past print ad that Tim included were fun and thoughtful touches, too. I can confirm that my toaster is once again operating majestically and it looks brand new! I can't say enough about the pleasant and positive experience I had with having Tim restore my toaster. I highly recommend Tim and would tell anyone who loves these Sunbeam toasters that they can trust him to expertly restore them to their original good looks and high performance. Happy toasting :)

I purchased a restored Sunbeam T-20-B Toaster from Tim's Toasters and I can hands down say this was one of the best private sale experiences I've ever had. Tim is not only incredibly communicative, but very personable and it was great fun to email back and forth with him. The toaster was shipped very quickly after purchasing, and arrived securely packaged and in perfect condition. I will turn to Tim for all my future Sunbeam Radiant Controlled Toaster needs.

I was not aware of the Sunbeam "Automatic Beyond Belief" toasters until recently. I became fascinated. This led me directly to Tim and his "restorations". But it goes way beyond that. Tim not only brings these gems back to brand new condition, he brings them into the 21st Century - invisibly! His improvements on safe wiring and corrosion prevention are a revelation. Tim is THE master; an absolute artist and perfectionist. He is also a caring man, which shows in his correspondence, his personal embellishments, and his charitable work. Our "new" Sunbeam toaster is beautiful, makes a statement, works flawlessly, and is truly the finest toaster ever built - again!
