@KNOLOGY.NET:
I have small microwave and it seems the power is getting less and less
as time passes. Do Magnatrons wear out?

The vacuum in the tube might slowly fail,
the cathode heater does slowly degrade,
the wavegiude might become dirty, and because of that
become less efficient
Also the magnet surrounding the tube might lose some
of its power.
And lately china import sometimes is a bit wacky...
