Oven Out, Microwave In

[FreshAir]

The oven in our '66 Trade Wind has never worked for us. We questioned our need for one for camping anyway. We decided that perhaps a microwave would be more usefull. The plan was to discard the old Magic Chef (impossible to find parts anyway) and install a new stove top and a microwave in the space an oven would be. That project got put back to the back burner, pun intended, as the old stove top worked okay. 2 weeks ago a good Forums friend gave us an old but working microwave. I discovered that it would fit inside of our non-working Magic Chef so sparing no cost I gutted the oven, cut a hole in the back of it for an extention cord, screwed a piece of ply to the bottom of the micro (so I could in turn screw that to the oven bottom), then construct a face plate painted hammer tone silver and I was finished.

Now it is a small 800 watt micro so it will determine if Lynn and I really want one. If so later we will get a larger one and a new stove top then I will have materal for a new thread. Now we need to find a new 'bread box'.
