Hi all,
My parent microwave recently broke down, so I have the opportunity to fix it. After figured out that the magnetron have leaked, I replaced the tube and teared down the old tube. During the teardown, I have taken apart the waveguide? (see waveguide.jpg) and reveal the internal part. It seem to be a sealed copper tube, part of the anode? (see removed.jpg) Anyone have ideas what are these? How could radiowave escape from that copper tube to enter the oven cavity?
