RE: {LVL1} Any use for microwave parts?

I dunno… Perhaps we could combine it with the X Ray machines that we have… SERIOUSLY cook some Chicken……

Hi, my office has a microwave which mostly works but doesn't heat. Would Lvl 1 have any use for this? We'd be glad to donate it but would get rid of it if you guys wouldn't be able to use it (or wouldn't want it). Thanks!

The transformer, though dangerous, is very useful for fun high-voltage projects. The magnetron can also be used in some nottobementionedonthegroups high-energy projects.

transformers in them are handy,  and also the low rpm motor but its ac ,,    the magnatron sounds like its gone bad so no HERFing
     MOTS microwave oven transformers are worth collecting ,

[Jennifer]

So is that a yes or a no?

[Aaron VerDow]

Are these only microwave parts or are they working microwaves that nobody wants?  I've always wanted to do a light show with a bunch of microwaves stuffed with light bulbs or maybe a "Things you should not do with a microwave" workshop.

sounds like one of the two parts worth pulling are bad , the mot & the magnetron from the other thread on this ,i dunno ,        id pass ,  most of the other tronix in them arnt worth hill a of beans unless you wanna make a timer or slow rpm somthen out of the turntable ,   buzzer

There is a series of you-tube videos of a fellow that disassembles the transformers and remakes them into very low voltage very high current transformers.  He makes a stick welder and a spot welder with the.metal melter
