I'd love to see what a large wedge would do to a modern

I have a near-end-of-American-manufacture LItton that's built like a
tank. Haven't used it in a few years, but it'll still be working when
I'm dead. Only problem is that the cavity's on the small side.

I have a working Frigidaire microwave that was manufactured in 1983.
The specs say 1.38 KW 120V 60HZ, a little odd, now it would be amps not
KW. Don't know about the output power, nothing on the unit, and the
owners manual says nothing about the power. The model number is MC800M,
I would think 800W is to low for the output power. But, I'm curious what
is the efficiency of a magnetron?

PS. The owners manual says " If you move or sell the microwave to
another person please report the change so we can update our records.
Hope I'm not in trouble, I've moved 5 times without reporting. :-)
