My microwave oven died a few days ago. It was quite old and had been showing signs of age for quite some time. I don't feel confident enough to try and fix it myself; and I have a healthy desire to avoid the high voltage issues. So after much thought and research on the subject, I ordered a new one which should be here in a few days. It was rather inexpensive, probably not much more than the bench time would be to have someone look at the old one. Meanwhile I'm getting reacquainted with my cookstove. One thing I noticed when researching microwave ovens is that apparently the old ones all lasted decades while the new ones last months. But the one I ordered had very good reviews, so I'm hoping for a good outcome. So, if you're good with testing electrical circuits, and can drop by here to pick it up, I'm looking to trade this old microwave for a Jerry Garcia or Grateful Dead CD. Serious inquiries only; pictures provided upon request. | ||

maybe he wants to start an argument..guess it fell onto stony ground. Microwave ovens of old..yes the old ones did last a long time and the new ones don't but the new ones are far more efficient in power consumption. It's all to do with the induction coil on the magnetron........falling asleep as I write this.......anorak seems to be covering me up.....where am I?? it seems all sensibilty is lost......... | ||

We sold our 1st microwave @ a garage sale last year, after 23 years; it wouldn't fit under the counter of our current kitchen. Still worked fine. I don't know the numbers, but the new one that does fit seems to be about 110% of the power (but won't thaw as big a container of leftovers). Peter | ||

Beware of "Old Microwaves" and hazardous leakage ! Those old magnetrons might keep working but the supporting casing seals etc, etc. might not be as affective in time . I have measured the EMF leakage in a few old ones in excess of safe levels. .http://www.gallawa.com/microtech/magnetron.html http://www.emwatch.com/Typical_mG.htm | ||

I remember about 20 odd years ago a case where there was a person who died suddenly whilst near a microwave, the persons heart was 'cooked'(I think it went into fibrillation really) due to leakage of m/waves from and old appliance. Whether this is true or not who knows and sonicus could be right. How did this thread start????? | ||

Well I tried to follow that up with something about Don Cherry, but in the process I got sidetracked when I found that Jerry Garcia played on an Ornette Coleman album, and that Coleman in turn sat in with the Dead on two of their gigs. I'm sure there's audio of those shows, and I imagine it would be quite interesting to hear Coleman jamming with the Dead. | ||

The "world famous" MagicMaster "SUPER DWARF" guitar amp prototype. Using the circuit from a famous Sears Catalog guitar amp, the custom made case made from exotic woods sports the telling "FUNK OFF" badging, versus the long lost "FUNK ON" version who's existence some claim to be an old wives' tale. Don't be fooled by the grille cloth, the speaker is (was?) the famous Delco 6x9 most notably used in the front dash of a 1974 Chevrolet Impalas.  | ||

| lidon2001
Senior Member Username: lidon2001 Post Number: 446 Registered: 4-2005 |
Yes Peter, it was the amp in a case type. The case was multi-tasked into an external speaker/carrying case for the ubiquitous Panasonic portable cassette player with built in condensor mic. Two of which made a usable bouncing recording system (well, almost usable). Sorry Dave, MagicMaster custom shop didn't number their prototypes. I do believe the FUNK OFF model did not proceed past the devolpment stage which was pictured above. We were waiting for the FUNK ON model with much anticipation, but development was postponed due to budgetary constraints, if my memory serves me correctly (probably serves a beer better).
