Can anyone suggest an interesting use for microwave oven
transformers .
Regards Geoff.

Ham radio enthusiasts use them in power supplies for high-power
vacuum tube transmitters.

Although they're not actually terribly good for this use, as their
design makes them self-limiting by way of core saturation, as I
understand it.

Uh,the microwave magnetron is a vacuum TUBE just like any RF transmitting
tube,just for a different frequency.
I see no reason for having the xfmr core saturate for a MW oven.
