A bit of a throw back with the dials?
I was able to find all the caps I needed at my electronics shop without having to order any! The 1000uF was only reading 30 uF with my meter...definitely the culprit behind my flickering screen. The 10uF was reading 7uF, and the 220 was reading 186uF.
Now, I've got another problem, When I was in the microwave, I noticed that the little "beeper" had come disassembled somehow (probably when the oven was chucked out on the curb for the trashman) When I put everything back together, now the little beeper beeps continuously! Any of you all ever had that issue?

Just picked up RRL-8X, won't fire, parts? Matt
A thousand thanks to Ben and Cory
Who sent me the manual I needed to get the Touchmatic door interlocks sync'd.
Major, serious, enormous thanks!

Dan you sure have an eye for stuff.
She works!
Again my thanks to all, especially Ben and Cory.
Got the right interlock assembly out of her this morning. Checked the switch contacts, they were all ok, but the right interlock was dragging, sometimes needing nearly a second to snap back.
Soaked it in WD-40 (which is a great solvent, not a lube) and, le Poof! She works!
Without the guide to resetting the interlocks, could have never done it.
I was amused, after reading 37 pages on how to check and set them to find one last paragraph which says: Of course, you can skip the tests and just listen. The left interlock must click slightly before the right one does. If anything else happens, they are out of sync.
Sheesh...like...couldn't that have been at the beginning? But never mind, I learned why people love these ovens. Bloody brilliant.
Now I want a more powerful one. There is one for $15 at ARC in Fort Collins, but not temperature probe and the glass dish is not the original, shoved in sideways.
Still, it has 1250 W cooking power, so might get it.
This baby I just was able to fix doesn't even make a sound when she goes from wait to power on the cookmatic scale. Solid, seriously solid.
So, the offer still stands - we don't really need her, if anyone does, just ask and we'd be happy to send her to a good home. At her weight, you'd better either have serious money for shipping or be passing through Cheyenne, tho'.

Almost have my RadaRange wall complete. Just need to button up the RR 7D. Just got a '77 Sharp too. But I like the radarange. Another obession...Matt
Even cooking, but
I had forgotten how annoyingly loud that end of program signal is. And how cheap and 1970's it sounds.
I think Amana did a great job on these units, but the next time I have an hour free or so, that icky thing is being replaced with a more gentle chime.
Still don't get all the stupid interlock protections, 10 second lock outs, etc. I was too young back then to notice, I guess - were Americans really that afraid of microwaves?
