It's possible, but everything else works (front panel, etc.) So main power supply is fine, fuse is fine. If the high voltage side was fubar I'd expect to see some scorching somewhere, but it all looks great. I may need to replace the high voltage diodes if it's still not working, or worse case the HV transformer, but the magnetron looks like it failed in a way that wasn't a dead short. It just doesn't make little waves.
I am a bit worried that there is some sort of fuse on the HV side because I don't have the schematics for this thing. If that's the case I may be screwed unless I can find it. I know the controller recognized the fault because it literally started scrolling "Send in for service" when it stopped working. I'm hoping it just sensed the load was wrong somehow. We'll see.
