microwaves might be even more hazardous to work on than CRT TVS. lot of them have interlocks and tamper proof screws. I used a Amana RR-4D all though college, and until I moved in 2003.. I was kinda glad at the time that my landlady said I could leave it. Its about 80 lbs! at my new place, my landlady gave me a late 80s Amana Touchmatic model, similar except the controls. used it until last year, I think one of the door switches went out. I may try fixing it. I replaced it with a 1984 vintage Kmart brand microwave made in Korea I got in a Thrift store for $5. its all metal, even the door, mechanical timer and mechanical bell that rings when done. it has a metal turntable to rotate the food. I miss the Amana though, it was more powerful.
