My microwave oven is 17 years old

Our 19 year old Mr. Coffee coffee maker just died a few weeks ago. Old kitchen appliances were just made better. Plus they look nicer.

I know of at least 4 that are older than dirt and still going strong. They are actually kind of valuable, because many customs kitches had a nook built for them, and modern MWs just don’t fit right. So people will pay a decent bit of cash to get a working radarange that will fit in their hole. **

Good heavens! That’s exactly the same microwave my mother-in-law has!

My microwave was originally my grandfather’s. I inherited it when he died. In 1988. I don’t remember how long he had it before that. I’d check the back for a date, but that sucker is heavy!

Aye! Good thing I had friends to help me load it and unload it! (I can just see myself falling down the stairs with it! :eek: )
