It has ALWAYS mystified me--as to how so FEW people realize just how DANGEROUS microwave ovens are to work on..NOT because of 'radiation"--that issue is VERY minor-but because of VERY high-current high voltage levels--that would make ANY flyback-powered HV supply look PALE in comparison--shock-hazard wise !!

Aint that the truth!!!
My dad brought home a LITTON (golden girls kitchen) Microwave with a broken HV diode that went from the cap to ground. While working on it, i got a bite from that capacitor and can still recall its intensity to this day..
WOW!!! WHAT A PUNCH!!
