See the Microwave Oven Repair Guide at the site below.

However, the warnings of the others should be taken most seriously.
The microwave oven is by far the most lethal of all consumer electronics
and appliances. The magnetron is powered by a circuit that can provide
up to 5 thousand volts at a substantial fraction of an AMP or more.
One doesn't get a second chance.

Even when unplugged, there is a high voltage capacitor that can retain
a nasty charge.

At least read the SAFETY info.
