Phil does that thing still work? Looks like from the 60's.
Yup, still works, so I never saw any reason to replace it, and I still use it for making toast. 'Picked it up from the St. Vincent de Paul store when I was a poor college student. It's of a late '40s vintage, so I've replaced the scary, cloth-insulated power cord with a modern grounded one.
I did some googling on "adding a fan to a convection oven". Most of the results were from a cooking (food) perspective, but in general seemed to indicate it was not really a good idea, difficult to do right, and gave poor results compared to ovens that had them designed in. I take it these fans are not inside the oven chamber but to the rear or side, and draw hot air in from the top of the chamber and send it out to the bottom.
I wonder if placing boards on a large piece of copper-clad or some other kind of flat metal plate would help even out any temperature differences?

I was thinking of installing one of these on the inside, kinda help mix the air around.
Nice one Phil
Perhaps the toasters with the fold down sides might be better - my parents had a couple as wedding presents. Fasten one side down and fold the toaster to close

'Probably not the best approach:
But I guess you'll never know unless you try it!
