Really. That is what the Sharp microwaves had, plus a halogen grill
at the top, allowing it to get up to convection temp (even up to 230C)
in minutes.

No-one seems to make them like that now, so I'm not surprised you
are repairing yours. My Sharp is sitting in my car waiting for its
trip to the dump, even though the grill and oven part work fine,
only the microwave bit is dead.

That's it. Mine has a grill at the top too. I have done whole roasted
chicken in there before, as well as home-made pizza, it's excellent, and
yes that is one reason I am trying to fix it. I can't remember, but did
you try fixing yours?

Mo, I don't really have the courage to poke about too carefully and
it weighs about 21 KG so it is a bit of a lump to manouvre.

If the 2nd hand panny lasts a year I haven't lost anything, it was
only £30. Actually, considering it only has the halogen top element
for grill and oven it gets up to temp acceptably fast. I only use
it up to 190C and I don't do Pizzas.
