Jason, what a great score!
Alot of us up here have Amana Radaranges....most prefer the earlier chrome ones like you have (I *think* yours dates to post 1972 to circa 1978 or 79....maybe very early 80s). Someone up here will be able to tell you exactly as they're super familiar with each and every model (you can find model number and sometimes date on the back of machine on a paper label). I've got a 1982/3 touchmatic version and wouldn't trade it for modern stuff EVER. These were highly expensive new for good reason. They generally seem to run forever. Also, that glass tray inside yours--THOSE pull decent money on their own....they're original to these machines and got broken over the decades. Take care of that bit!
There was/is a guy up here called Corey or Cory? He is heavily into the Radarange and might just chime in for you. | ||

You said it. Quality. All that stainless lined interior...and assembled like a war tank! Good, good stuff. Yeah, the weight is tremendous on those--about threw out my back when I had to move this thing to the moving truck a few months ago! Gotta be around 60-70lb easy. Haven't looked underneath mine in awhile, but the rubber feet may be common replacements done with a donor blender or stand mixer. I will look around and see if I still have a spare pair--I remember taking those things off my Amana a few years ago for extra clearance between the cabinet and the top of the machine.

mine is from 1980 very nice...I have one just like it in my collection made in 1980 :)If you think these are heavy,pick up a ~late '60s one with twin bobbin transformer and electromagnet magnetron field..A lot of people are spooked by these RRs -thinking they spew radiation....:) | ||

New to you Amana microwave oven
Congratulations Jason on your new microwave there’s a date right on the back of all microwave ovens or on the model tag Federal law requires them to be dated as to when they’ll made
I may have some of the footpads for those Amana microwaves if you can’t find anything that works there really nothing special. John | ||

Jason - reach out to cadman here on AW (and another fellow Iowan), through his website:
www.radarange.com... He probably has some of these feet in his stock of parts. Ben | ||
