I said I had a dread felling this morning. Well EVRI delivered my Magnetron all the way from China, in only a few days and blow me down, it's broken. Just to prove it I stuck it in the Microwave turned it on and got a big humming noise and a bang.
No packaging, it was just in a cardboard box and had been dropped and landed on the Antenna bit that sticks into the Microwave Oven itself! I've now been on to the Manufacturer but they're just going to credit me and not send a new one. If a new one is delivered in the same condition, what use is it?
How on earth they can manufacture these for about £12 delivered is the first mystery but why send it on a journey half way around the world without putting at least a bit of polystyrene over the Antenna?!
So maybe that was what it was. These things are easy enough to replace - as long as you know what you are doing and don't stick your hand across the HV side or the capacitor. hey don't send replacements, they refund your money!
Now, do I just keep sticking it out until one arrives properly packaged?
