FWIW my brother did appliance repairs for GE and RCA for about
10 years.

A co-worker was badly burned on his arm while testing/repairing
a microwave and my brother won't get near one now. He refuses
to own one and will leave the room if one is turned on. 

I accidently put some food wrapped in aluminum foil into a
heavy duty microwave at work one time and it put on a 'light
show' with sparks inside and _outside_ of the microwave. Burned
a dozen holes in the front door and the owner of the company
was furious. I told him I didn't own a microwave and had no
idea that would happen. It stayed there with the scorch marks
as evidence to other that it was necessary to remove aluminum
foil _first_. 

With $60 microwaves being more powerful than my old $450
microwave I'm not sure I would risk injury trying to fix one?
