I agree. My 1971 Montgomery Ward MW is still doing fine and the
mechanicalk timer will never die from a lightning hit.
New MWs are like new TVs they are always on and most fail because the
clock gets blown up.

Have you actually compared with the abilities of the new units? Sure, you
can re-heat a cup of coffee, but for more serious cooking, you may be very
surprised at the differences and advancements.
