I bought two toasters last fall with the full intention of putting them on my JG 360/12 WB. I have agonized over doing this to my beautiful 12 string all this time.
I know, I know, the pickups are easily switched back again. But you have to understand that my 12 sounded great as it was through my Fender Twin Reverb. So even though I had purchased the toasters, I just could not bring myself to make the switch.
Well, today, I put aside some time and put aside my fears and I switched my hi-gains for the toasters.
The result: I am in love all over again. What a difference. The toasters sparkle with no loss of volume or full tonal range. In fact the guitar c/w toasters sounds so much like my 1964 FG 360/12 that I sold as a result of a temporary lapse of reason that I no longer miss it.
On top of that my guitar now nicely matches my JG 360V64. Between the pair of them, they are all the guitars a person would ever really need.
I just had to share this great experience with you all.
Oh I almost forgot. Now I can use any of my amplifiers because my 12 sounds good through all of them, whereas before it was too hot for two or three of them.

Justin,
I just did a search and found some at Music 123 at the same price as I bought mine last year. $66.67 each.
Not bad when you consider that a replacement cover is $20.00

Music123 hasn't had any toasters since December. I ordered some then and was told they'd e-mail when they shipped. Which never happened, obviously. I canceled the order around the end of January.
There was a thread here regarding Music123, and from what John Hall said, I kind of doubt they'll be getting anything Ric in stock after their present stock runs out.
Looks like we'll have to get toasters elsewhere - and pay the usual $100 ea.

Chris at Pick of the Ricks sells them for $95 with free shipping.

Yes, I'm probably going to get my pair from POTR too.
Actually, I should probably just get my neck pickup fixed (it just it working one day), but now I don't trust the bridge pickup to keep working. So I'm impatient about waiting on repair(s) so I'm just going to replace them both.
Btw, mine are "de-wound" '92 toasters. It'll be worth the $ to get new scatterwounds.
