It is a Sharp R-318AV Microwave Oven (no parts are available from dealers, or from Sharp)
Someone tossed it out.
It had a bad door switch, (which I replaced), it was missing the turntable plate (and I do have one), and the Waveguide is missing (I have some Mica Waveguide material, so I have made one).
So, the problem is that the original waveguide was apparently made of molded Plastic, and had lugs that inserted into small holes inside the cabinet. My Mica waveguide can only be fitted so close, but now it will need an additional form of attachment.
I'm pretty sure that I can't use metal screws, but can I drill a hole in the cabinet and use a Plastic push anchor like those used to mount a car door panel?
I'm hoping someone knows something more about waveguides and how they can be mounted than I do.
Do they get excessively hot?
Any suggestions and all help appreiated.
