After years of hunting I finally found a early Tappan microwave. This one was built in January 1960. It's a water cooled unit , which is interesting. Supposedly it worked when it was removed, but this was told to me by the seller had it listed as a wall oven. Unfortunately, the contractors that removed it threw away the recipe drawer and broke the handle.
I highly doubt anyone has the drawer, so I figured I'll try to make a cover for the hole. However I figured it wouldn't hurt to see if someone has a drawer lying around. Also, would anyone happen to have a parts Tappan wall oven from about the same year that I could get a handle off of? It's made of pot metal, so it would be a challenging repair. Thanks everyone.

1960 built-in Tappan microwave
Hi, Will, don’t try to power up that oven without making sure there’s an antifreeze solution in the cooling system and that the pump and everything is turning and pumping, etc. before powering it up.
The handle should be a relatively easy fix. It would be neat if it actually worked, I have yet to get one of these early microwaves to work. Let everybody know how it goes. John | ||
