BTW Panasonic parts are easy to find both at online/catalog parts sellers as
well as local appliance parts resellers. Many try to tell you this crap that
they don't sell to the public so I generally (used to before I started into
business) doing a Rockford and making a fake business card and letting them
charge me the tax, or if they didn't I posted it with my use tax at the end
of the year (or did I forget). Either way it's all BS and they will sell to
you as there isn't any license requirements for fixing appliances like there
is for air conditioning.

Subject: Microwave oven collectors?
My 17 year old "microprocessor controlled" microwave oven stopped making
food hot the other night. Everything still appears and sounds about the
same, just food stays cold, and when it first happened there was a bit of
the smell of the gates of capacitor heaven being open. Should I take a
swing at fixing it, or yield to the cheap new inverter technology?
Victim is a Panasonic Dimension 3 microwave/convection oven (top of the
line those many moons ago). Location is SoCal.
