I used to visit Ilford Photochemical as a contractor, at lunch there was a canteen regular who melted portion size butter wraps on a plate in one of the microwaves, 2.7kW input. He would stand close to look through the window in order to monitor the "doneness" and his face would be lit up by the activity inside the cooking chamber. It was in Cheshire, "strong in arm...".

Hmmm...
First off the microwave made a noise and stopped heating. The screen etc worked fine.
The magnetron measures under 1 ohm, circa 0.3.
Did an IR test between each terminal on the magnetron to the case, infinity.
The cap measures 1uF.
The diode appears OK testing it with a 9V battery in series.
The 750mA, 5KV fuse had popped. I replaced it and swapped the cap out as the 1uF looked a bit swollen perhaps even though it tested OK. I only had a 1.14uF cap so put that in.
Turning on and it seemed to start but then popped an 8A fuse. This one I'm pointing to. Now the screen is dead.
