The above is great for some part for QRO rigs or the magnetron may be replaced
(usually the magnetrons cost more than a new oven).

However, frequently the High voltage capacitor does not discharge completely.
You must be very careful when disassembling one of these and carefully 
discharge
the capacitor that may have more than 3000 volts on it. If you are not sure 
how to
do this please go to someone who has high voltage experience.
