My experience with  microwave transformers is that all except the huge 
industrial units have shunts. It is relatively easy to tell most of the 
time. Look at the transformer and see if there are short core laminations 
between the primary and secondary windings, if there is these are the 
shunts. BTW be carefull putting any kind of metal in a microwave oven and 
NEVER OPERATE A MICROVAVE OVEN MAGNATRON OUT SIDE IT'S SHIELDING!
