 You beat me to it! I was going to make the short wave comment too!
I had a 1980 Panasonic that was still going strong nearly three years ago when I left it behind at the house we sold. It wasn't as powerful as a modern machine, only 750 watts, but at the time that was a lot. The National probably is in the same neighborhood. I can't tell from the picture, but am guessing it may have a temperature probe like my Panasonic too. I wish they still provided that feature on current day microwaves. | ||

That's funny, short wave radio is exactly what I thought, too, when I saw the photo. No doubt that is what the designers had in mind. Cool looking microwave! | ||

IIRC
"National Panasonic" may still be the brand name outside of the United States, but then again could be wrong.
Temperature Probes: Have always wondered about that feature and thought it would be a nice thing to have on modern microwave and or combination convection ovens. However seeing so many vintage ovens of that ilk on fleaBay and elsewhere with the probes still in their packet (unused) but the oven obviously very well used does make one wonder. A quick "Google" of comments sometime back whislt researching a new MC and convection ovens found many found the included probes neither use nor ornament. | ||

I use the probe on my Radarange frequently. It is terrific for bringing water or milk to the right temperature for breadmaking (115F-120F, depending on recipe). It's also great for reheating casseroles. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Panasonic 750 Watt Oven
Have run into a few vintage Panasonic convection/mc combo ovens, but always passed because of the "low" power of 750watts. Even the convection heater wasn't that powerful (1300watts, my Whirlpool dryer runs hotter! *LOL), so assumed cooking would take along time by today's standards.
Don't do "TV" or frozen dinners that often, but once and awhile when there is a sale will stock up on a few for those "dinner for one" nights. To a box all give directions for microwaves >1000 watts of power. However they do state if one is using a unit with less the product's cooking time may increase. | ||
