Old Tube TV as well. Honestly any of those old high voltage requiring machines are DANGEROUS. Capacitors are nuts man, and not something you should be playing around or with. The manual turn-table microwave honestly sounds like a great, safe way to troll the kids.
I have an excessively OP theater amp and repaired it myself. I let those caps chill for weeks and routinly flipped the power switch on and off to drain them. Was still scared. I’m also a bit of a pussy when it comes to electricity.
Only if it’s plugged in while you’re opening it… Remember kids, always unplug appliances before you disassemble them.

Go learn about capacitors and why its still dangerous as fuck to mess around with the ones in a microwave even if its unplugged

I believe the magnetron is dangerous for a time after unplugged. I may be wrong. Don’t test it.
Edit: Yep. The high voltage capacitor can give you a lethal shock even after the microwave has been unplugged for months.
Months! wow.
Aye, but that’s just another part of the learning lesson, right?
If you die while learning, is it really learning… :)
it’s comments like these that get people killed.
This is the scary part - it will kill you even when unplugged!
