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. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/microwave.jpg |

It is just a magnetron and a spring wound timer. Not much to break and it gets the job done. |

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 |

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! |

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. |

They were really afraid of microwaves in the late 60s and the regs were pretty tight. |
