    I found a microwave in the scrap metal drop off area. It was in a cardboard box with some polystyrene blocks in there too.
    So I chuck it into the back of the car and notice the box is a microwave oven box, I look and find its the same brand as the microwave.
    ' Coinedence that they brought the same brand and chucked the old one into the new microwaves box before chucking it out' . I thought.
    Its dark when I got home and pulled the box out and put it with my scrap.

    The next day I scrap a old dirty microwave and look around for another, then I grab the one that's in the box, rip the back off it, scrap it out, yay "Double Copper" transformer!



    I flip it over so I can remove the plastic trim off the door...
    And the instruction manual falls out.. Uh huh?
    I take another look inside to see a sparking clean interior....

    Oh, no. I just scrapped a brand new microwave.
