Mac & Cheese in a 1971 Microwave

I microwave some mac and cheese.

Might just be the oldest working microwave oven.

Works on odonary household current cooks most anything in 1/4 the time.

If it dosn't say Amana its not a radar range!

Wow... The counter reminds me Fallout vibe.

The old Amana's are beautiful units, built like a tank.

My family had the same Amana Radarange in 1969 in our Dodge Travco motorhome. I heard that Amana gave it to us to test on a 9,000 mile road trip around the USA. We used the heck out of it and amazed people across the nation with its capabilities. Most people never heard of microwave ovens. I think my brother and I first coined the expression to "Nuke" our food. Some people refused to eat microwaved food thinking it was irradiated. I'll bet they feel dumb now!

Good video of your Amana. I have a working Amana RR-1,,, in Louisville,kY. It even still has the original power cord.

What store that sells 'that' in malaysia? (not the microwave)

I found a Montgomery Ward Signature "Electronic Oven" at goodwill today. It might just be older than yours, since the company address on the serial tag still used the old zip code! (Chicago 7, Ill)!

Unfortunately, although it appeared to work, I discovered that it can run with the door open! As soon as I told the employees this, they said they were going to throw it away.

I almost bought it just b/c it was so old. Pus it was only $4....

I just got an Amana Touchmatic Radar Range for 17$ from a junk store, it rocks!

It may be mid 70s. It's rated at 1.5 killer watts at 2450motorcycles (that's MHz)! I call that commercial - not junk like now days.
