[sci.electronics] Microwave problem diagnosed: NOT Magnetron

    Thanks to all who replied to my posting "Microwave Magnetron."

    Most of the replies I received indicated that the problem is likely
to be in the power supply circuit and not with the magnetron.  I tested the
components and found the HV capacitor to be shorted.  It's costing me $23
to replace, but that's better than the $70 or so if I had brought the
microwave to a repair shop.  Thanks again.
