Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Use for microwave oven ?

From: Bill Maxwell <wrmaxwell@...>
Date: 2016-02-15

A current project in my local radio club. Converting it from a power regulator to a voltage regulator and then using it to power a linear amplifier, built around an eastern bloc ceramic triode. All the safety caveats expressed by others apply equally here.

What are you doing with the inverter?

If it happens to be a Panasonic inverter microwave oven, grab it with glee and store it away for a future project..... If we lived closer, I would take it off your hands.

Don't you think all this talk about freecycle or dropping her off at
the side of the road is a bit premature? I'm sure there is _something_
she can do in the shop, where you can keep an eye on her, even if you
can't trust her alone in the kitchen any more. ;-)
  
Joking aside, I'm looking for another microwave oven transformer to
make a spot welder. The thing is I seem to fix them all up so I never
get the transformer.
  
I don't think it is terribly useful as a microwave, in the shop.
Yes there is the occassional heating requirement but typically I don't
dare to use a microwave because I don't know how these odd materials
will behave. If you did the same thing regularly you could experiment.
I think you can even make small metal castings with a microwave oven.
