Three allegedly functional junk microwave ovens were purchased from
the local thrift shop for about $20/ea. When the owners of the store
found out what we were doing, she threw in three more ovens that had
various defects which made them unsellable, but were allegedly able to
heat water.

I don't have time right now for the whole story, so I'll just
summarize. Every oven acted or failed differently.

Jeff, you are a trip!

I live in an apartment complex, and a lot of microwave ovens have
been thrown away; and most of them were perfectly OK after they were
cleaned up.
Same pattern with vacuum cleaners.
A number of people are pigs.
