RE: [TCML] DC SGTC charging inductor

["Dave Halliday" <dh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a local bi-weekly newspaper that offers free ads for personal
buying and selling (they make their money selling commercial advertising).
I posted an ad (under the appliances heading) for a couple months and wound
up getting about 40 dead ovens. 

Also, I never followed through with this but you might also want to check
with local hotels and motels. They generally have a microwave in each room.
Explain to the manager that you are a starving student and need to use these
for a "science project" and see what happens.
