that it cannot be repaired, no matter the cost. Of course if it is cost
prohibitive, then that's a deal breaker. I have heard of mw's that couldn't
be fixed. Maybe sealed parts. Out of production. Whatever. I had one
that my property manager said was toast, so we put it in storage and put
another in the vacation rental. The next manager saw it, and asked about
it, checked it out, and changed a fuse, and it came back to life.
I may be going to Vegas Thursday, if not, not until after Thanksgiving, WHEN

Wasn't aware anybody had made the combinations for quite a long
time--we've got one (GE) but it's 30 yr old. The magnetron for it was
still available last I looked a year or so ago. They're not cheap but
I've been tempted to order one for a spare as would hate to give up the
feature as there's no room for a countertop unit.
The problem could be in the interlock; there's a solenoid in the door
lock system that is _NOT_ available w/ no suggested replacement; one
would have to find something to cobble up in it's place if that were it.
I can imagine that would be in the "nonrepairable" category for a
standard-duty repairman.
