Anyone have an idea what brand of toaster oven Elwood is fiddling with on the counter in Ray's Music Exchange?
I don't have a screen cap handy, but I swear my mom has one just like it....

Here are some pics in original blu-ray resolution. It would be great if you found out what type it was!

It looks like a General Electric. It is close to a A12T93B Toast R Oven but the slider switches are in different places. Same basic body and door mechanism though. Might be a GE but a lesser model. A good one to look for, once identified they will be like Craig S601's all of a sudden they will shoot up to crazy prices and confuse sellers. ;D

This is what I've found.
There are two basic models.
The T93B is the newer model, and has: - red light - start button on top - brown vs. silver label
The toaster at Ray's is a T93
Some versions of the toaster (at least the T93B) could come with a white knob:
and this one also has a white start button:
The toaster at Ray's is a T93 with all black knobs and levers.
The writing on the glass can be: 1) all across bottom, boxed
2) all across bottom, no box:
3) lower right
4) upper right
5) none
I'm convinced that Ray's doesn't have the writing on the upper right.
And I'm fairly sure that it doesn't have the "lower right" writing. That large area of white would sure to be seen in the movie.
And I can't make out any evidence of writing on the bottom. I suppose it could be one of the two "bottom labels", with the evidence just wiped away with blu-ray enhancement. But my guess is that the toaster glass is unlabelled, just as with the T93B example shown earlier.
So I think we're looking for:
GE T93, all black knobs/levers, with unlabeled plain glass.

Could this be writing in the lower right corner of the glass? Perhaps white writing above a long white rectangle, much like what you show as #3 above?

Possibly, TK. What's the source for your image? It's higher resolution than blu-ray, at least from my 1920x1080 pics.
I've simply been using original blu-ray 1920x1080 pics. If I blowup my blu-ray pics using photoshop "bicubic smoother (best for enlargement)", to get something close to the size you have, this is what I get:

Great stuff, guys! The propmaster could have removed the branding prior to shooting, to avoid any copyright conflict...there's a notorious lack of branding on a lot of stuff seen on-screen. On a bummer note...I showed my mom the pics of the T93, and she said yes, she used to own one...but, she sold it in a yard sale back in the 90's....so, the hunt goes on. Rob

I think that is the ticket.
There is the silver label version.. and the dark brown version, but there is also the style that Ghost posted above with a sort of tan/ copper label.
In the movie screen captures, the label doesn't look as though it is the same shiny silver as the housing itself, and it is definitely not dark brown, so it would seem that the copper-ish label is the way to go.
I do have the Blu-ray on the shelf, but for the convenience of quick referencing I also have a file loaded on the pc.
I'm not sure about the accuracy of the info I was given about this version, but I'm told it originated in the Netherlands (it has Dutch subs that can be turned on/off), and that it is "1440p".
Like I said, I'm not sure about the info because from what I understand, 1440p is something that doesn't really exist yet. I do know that, at normal size, the picture is so sharp that quite a bit of the movie almost looks 3D, and that the file size is a whopping 10.5GB.
The video and the subs are locked inside a .mkv container so I haven't yet looked into a method of cracking it open to see what the true properties are.
