Huh??? I would think you wouldn't need slow-scan TV in the microwave
portion of the ham bands.. There is more then enough bandwidth available for
many fast scan TV signals.. Or maybe I'm missing something..

It was a nonsense reply, though I couldn't decide whether he was trolling
or actually didn't hav e a clue.

I recently tore another microwave oven apart for the two really-strong
magnets that are in the tube

(they are fun to stack alternate-polarity on a wooden dowel
so they seem to "float" in the air; kids of all ages just
love to play that that "toy")

(I kept the transformer, diode, capacitor, and misc. microswitches, too),

and as I carried the rather bare chassis out to the garbage-can area,
I wondered if anyone had ever tried built an amplifier in such a chassis
-- maybe even using some of its many interlocks?
No, but the tube runs at a freq real close to ham Slow Scan TV bands.
They retune them and use them as SSTV transmitters.
