I would never use it in any kitchen, but it is too good to just discard...It has more metal and weight to it than any TV of its day IMO.
Made in USA.
Other than that, i still have my grandparents 1970s Sanyo microwave. Sentimental item, complete with 'Microwave Cooking' handbook.. kind of morose how it lists Whole Turkey as a microwavable item(!!)
I don't have a microwave oven in my own kitchen.
Does it have the torx tamper-proof screws? I fixed one for an ex-GF in the early 90s, and had to go to an industrial supply house to buy a driver bit to remove the cover. The HV rectifier stack was fried and I got one from Sears to fix it.
