Have been given a disassembled Whirlpool grill-microwave oven with missing decals & fuses?

Very good link that you, Alec_t, provided! I'll spend a few hours browsing & reading those pages.
Very good post, debe, thanks!
My readings with everything isolated are as follows:
Power xFormer's Primary = 0.6 ohms & to gnd ~= infinite;
Power xFormer's Secondary 0.2--->0.3 ohms & to gnd ~= infinite;
Isolated-electrode from xFormer to Diode resistance to gnd = 115 ohms;
Magnetron (electrode to electrode) ~= 0.3 ohms & to gnd ~= 29.1 ohms;
Condenser (electrode to electrode) it starts going down from ~16 Mohms in both polarities & from each electrode to gnd (both polarities) ~= infinity;
Power Diode exhibit a resistance of infinity at both polarities.
From the above measurements, do it seems there's a problem with one of the components? Thanks in advanced for any hint!

I've changed the magnetron & everything is now well. Thanks to all that replied with your comments, you really helped me understand this appliance!
I still have a question, how come a magnetron gets to have such a reading, is it for rough handling, pollutants in the atmosphere (salty due to beach proximity) or a manufacturing deviation from quality standards?
