I have some friends who have a built-in ModernMaid microwave(above the regular electric oven),about 20 years old. It quit a couple of weeks ago, and the had a reputable independant appliance tech look at it . He told them the mag tube was bad, and that it was no longer available.I am wondering how universal mag tubes are and if any other tubes can be substituted if the exact one for that unit is indeed not available. I see in my Johnstone catalog that they have four tubes they say are direct and universal replacements for numerous brands including ModernMaid. Any advice I can get from the microwave gurus here will be greatly appreciated. The people know they can buy a new oven for $39, but they want the built in one fixed if possible and are willing to spend whatever it costs--within reason- .Thanks Larry
