I'd be happy to show Todd how to bypass the door interlocks on a microwave
so he can turn it on with his head in it.

But seriously - I had a tabletop oven with rings on the top till the
thermostat contacts welded. I have salvaged a combo microwave/grill that
only needs very minor repair - but being a tightwad, I prefer to finish
wearing out the old microwave before swapping over.
