Subject: Re: OT: deceased erstwhile microwave oven
Hi Mike,
Have you thought of donating it to Goodwill or another charity? If it
somewhat works they may be able to do something w/ it (if nothing else they
can tinker w/ the innards as part of training).

Too bad we don't have a local Maker Faire. That kind of partially working
gear would be welcome there too.

ymmv,
C.G.
