Scavenging Microwave Ovens

One man's trash, that's another man's come up.
It's my lucky day because my neighbor is throwing away a microwave! One man's trash is another man's treasure, and with all the parts I can harvest off this abandoned appliance, I feel like I just won the lottery!

Project History & More Info:
I'm super excited about these salvaged parts, because there are a ton of dangerous projects I can use these for. Like unballasted high voltage electrical arcing, or instantly fatal traveling arcs. How about improvised spot welding, or dangerously exciting metal melting, and even makeshift AC stick welders? I feel like I made out like a bandit on this project, and these salvaged components will lay the foundation for many projects to come.
