I heard you say my microwave was spying on me but I can't find the
camera or the microphone. Where are they? I want to disable them.

You need a newer model microwave:

I'm OK with this one, a 1971 Monkey Wards. It is just a magnetron and
a spring wound timer. Not much to break and it gets the job done.

She was actually half right without realizing it. WiFi operates at
microwave frequencies and has the potential to be a very real home
security threat via connected devices.

At my shop I have a couple of those bulletproof old beasts. one is just a spring timer and the other has a push button temp set. Popcorn, Sandwich, etc/ I did have my wife's old Amana,but it died. primitive circuit board finally gave out -NLA

We used to see a lot of broken microwaves at the IBM shop. Most of the
time it was a bad timer/clock card. The only time they were worth the
price of the part to fix was if it was a built in that matched the
rest of the appliances and a discontinued model. Most of the time,
when we told them what the card cost, they said "throw it away".
We did have a big Amana we used in the shop but I just drilled a hole
through the touch pad and put a 15 minute spring wound timer in there.
It was a little bit of a trick to rewire it so all the interlocks
still worked and it still came on but not that big a trick.

Hers was a top of the line "radar range" The base glass broke and I bought her a new one that was about 65 bucks in about 1990 Not long after, the circuit went out. that was it's death knell. I think she got it new in about '78 or 9. It was a heavy old beast!

Just stand at least 30 feet away from it when it's running. :-)

Hell, he's probably stopped making babies anyway.

I fixed a bunch of airborne radar units, and I think probably only had 1 or
2 magnetrons go bad in 3 years of fixing them. Our units were a lot higher
power and had tubes also. Probably the average on transports was 50kw at a
low duty cycle. But ran for hours at a time.
