slow down there buddy, you might trip a circuit breaker there.

Why? It's like a $30 device and a pretty darn neat one for that price too.
They seem to have nailed it the first time too. I'm not seeing new
revisions of the device. There's somebody real clever over at P3.

I've seen plenty of meters installed backwards. It doesn't confused the
power company in Chicago at all. They can do the math, and will even leave
it and put the seal back on the collar of the glass too.

Hmm, sort of shocked there wasn't a "fuzzy logic" spin on all of that in
1988 or whenever that annoying as hell fad came out.

That's a good point too. All the service tech microwave oven deaths in the
US I'm aware of were people getting dead from the capacitor, with the unit
off. apparently those caps are perfectly sized to just stop your heart.
You'd get noticed about who croaked last in the trade bulletin/sales
"newsletters" that got mailed out every few months.
 
No doubt if you were getting electrocuted off a running microwave, the
fuse would never blow. I have a large transformer for what I'm told is an
industrial microwave something device. The transformer doesn't even have
shunts and outputs a full 4kV at a couple kW. It makes for one of the
fiercest jacob's ladders I've thrown together.

Weird. Microwaves+? I think they rebranded Batteries+ into something
equally weird like batteries and CFL bulbs and +. There was one in a strip
mall on Clyborn by Armitage or someting like that.

Not trying to mess with you, but these sound easy enough to take care of
with even random presses of the quick minute button. Going to try an
"intelligent" mode for some frozen vegetables now in fact.

Check the prices for the "computer board" for the new washer. Probably
$243 if you get a good price.

If it's not spinning, you want to rap it on a corner so that the drive is
twisted in the circumferential sense, relative to the platters.. The
most productive such rap is done a half-second after applying power
(it's useful to have a switchable power supply for this).
 
Once you get it up and spinning, there's a good prospect for it
to STAY spinning as long as you don't remove power, and
fair-to-middling chance of it starting again (the motor
is likely to care exactly in what pole-position phase it stops).
