I find it amazing that there is still a 35 YO microwave in use, and not by a collector.

Posts are creeping up on reddit/r/buyitforlife of owners showing off their 1980's microwaves.
The acknowledgement of older appliances and their build quality are finally gaining recognition from the younger crowd.

CRAZY-10 mil for the microwave?You could buy a microwave oven FACTORY for that price.I will stick with my GE Advantium!Its over the range!
I'm thinking the $999,999.99 is a number they had to put in. The ad says offers.
1988 GE JVM150
Here's my GE "Spacemaker" microwave manufactured in February, 1988 and installed in April 1988. Still works great and is used multiple times every day.
There is no display because I chose to not have the clock displayed by touching "CLEAR/OFF" when "RESET" is displayed after a power outage.
It took me 30 years to discover that "feature"!
One less clock to set in the kitchen.

If only we had an over the range model
It is odd how we never had one as I would have loved to have it over the hob rather than sat on the work top,
Mine is sat in the cupboard above the oven out the way.
Do all over the range models have extraction systems for the steam from below?

I still see the old woodie GE OTR microwaves from time to time.
Overall I like the idea of an OTR microwave for kitchens that don't have much counter space. Just wish the exhaust systems had more power. Did these older GE's have good blower systems?

Exhaust Fan on OTC Microwave
Sadly, my JVM150 is installed on an inside wall in a kitchen that has another floor above it so there was no way to vent it to the outside.
Consequently, the exhaust air is just filtered and then blown out the front grill.
The two speed blower seems quite powerful - and NOISY on the high speed.
I would say that it is moderately effective in this configuration.

GE generally made a single model with augmented blower for use above a grill cooktop...they were special order, though and a bit pricey.

OTR Microwave
The microwave in the first pic actually has the added interior exhaust kit. That optional kit was $100.00 plus the cost of the microwave which was $399.00 so it became a very expensive microwave.
I will say this though that interior kit was WAY better than the new ones. The current day one spews grease into the air and all over everything.
