Pretty good for grandpa, given that the first domestic microwave oven was introduced shortly after the Korean war, so this must have been a commercial radarange. Which cost a few thousand dollars back then.
Lemont is a fool to sell such an antique for $5. If you look on ebay even much more recent models fetch several hundred. A commercial model form the very beginnings of microwave cookery might be worth considerably more.
He is also is a fool to go on about radiation. Sure we can laugh at his gullibility, but there are probably still people who confuse radio waves from a microwave with ionizing radiation (which is a potential carcinogen).
LOVE these conversations between Lemont and Susan.
