How To Scrap A Microwave Safely

Yeah, I've had those as well. Maybe I'm confused with double Al windings out of a single transformer

It seems later model and 'grilling action' microwaves have Ali transformers.
Later model because its cheaper than Copper.
And 'grilling action' microwaves because they probably (?) can't use the higher wattages because using the griller & microwave at the same time will pull more power out of the wall socket than they are allowed too. (So they downwattage the microwave to less than 1/2 the socket out put (?))

And Invertor microwaves.... have a total of 100gms Copper... ugh!
