The Litton mentioned above was
probably a low-power unit - I'd bet on it being under 700 watts, if not
lower.


Actually not.

800 Watts according to its specs.

Its ability to handle metal was one of its best selling points - along with
being $100 cheaper than the competing Amana.

It was Litton's top-of-the-line in 1974.

At last report, it's still going strong.



Cool

"Dino-tech" in action

I wonder what made it more "metal-proof" than others? Maybe the tuning?

I just plain don't recall what the brand was (gimme a break! It's been
almost 20 years!), but mom had this ancient thing that you couldn't kill
if you drove over it with a tank - and if you tossed a wad of tinfoil
into it, it would make a nifty light show

Thing lasted for years, but finally went tango-uniform when mom was on a
cleaning frenzy and knocked the nearly full bucket of ammonia water she
as using on the windows onto/into it. Even after rinsing and drying
repeatedly, it never recovered. I expect the ammonia probably attacked
the copper traces on the control pad.
