In article ,  mentioned...You pull the magnetron out and show it to peoiple and ask them what it is.  They haven't a clue since they've never seen one before.  When you tell 'em what it is and what it does, they say, Oh, wow!  So that's how I reheat my pizza!The transformer makes a good door stop...  ;-)-- @@F@r@o@m@@O@r@a@n@g@e@@C@o@u@n@t@y@,@@C@a@l@,@@w@h@e@r@e@@###Got a Question about ELECTRONICS?

Block the holes up and put fish in it, you could even make them light up ifit still worked.

If the secondary is sawn off and rewound with the correct sort of wire, it can make a very high powered low voltage transformer . Might be useful for spot-welding etc (or, powering something needing mucho amps at low voltage) .

news:...I have one somewhere that the HV secondary is isolated. I hooked 220Vto it and got about 12VAC out.

Microwave ovens are probably the most lethal of all domesticappliances to service if you don't know what you'r doing.If you'r unlucky, and the bleeder resistor has died, the capacitormay retain a lethal charge for quite some time.--     |  mailto: |             Ian Stirling.---------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------To do is to beTo be is to doDo be do be do do
