Would be interesting to know how the cost of a new magnetron
and the time to replace it compares to the cost of a new
microwave oven.

It goes without assuming that you're sure the magnetron is at fault?

Could be different in other countries, but at the cost of the microwave
ovens in the US, the cost of a new megatron tube and shipping is
probably as much if not more than a replacement oven.

A long time ago I decided that it is just not worth it to do most
repairs (if you have to buy parts) on items costing under $ 500. If you
have to get someone else to repair an item, just replace it.
