My thanks to Ed, Breakaway #3864 for his April 30, 2010 post about referenced micro/conv oven. My unit is installed in a 1993 Carver 440 Motor Yacht. I found your web site while searching for a manual on the oven. 15 amp fuse was culprit. Easy to troubleshoot and to replace. Many Thanks and My Very Best Regards, Jake

R-1830?



OOPS! Wrong one.

Had me goin' there for a minute.

Bill, it might be the wrong one but I bet it would do a heck of a job heating up my turkey pot pies.

Bill, we went across the mountains here while back and was driving beside an airport and could see this thing in the distance, which I thought was an older aircraft. We drove up to it to check it out and got some pictures of it. A gentleman from north Geaorgia owns it now and takes it around to shows. sky

TUPOLEV 007

WOW! that's neat!

It appears to be the predecessor of a later generation of Soviet ground effect boats.

The Russians did a lot of work with fast boats, moving from hydrofoils to ground effect technology. They were working on ground effect while we were still doing hydrofoils. The later ones were jet powered and became more like airplanes than boats, but they never got above the ground effect.

They had a huge one, called the ekranoplane that was jet powered. I don't remember the numbers, but I believe it was the fastest big boat ever built. Around 300 knots, I think. It looked more like a clipped-wing airplane than a boat, though.

It is interesting that my bathroom reading the last day or so has been an article in an old Air Classics magazine about the Vought Kingfisher and the daring rescues performed by them and their crew during WWII.

Much of their rescue work involved high speed taxiing with the rescued tied on top of the wing. Eddie Rickenbacker was one. They were too overloaded or too shot up to lift off. Must have been quite a ride for the rescued.

There are a few cool videos on YouTube of the Caspean Sea monster. 8 jet engines up front, just too cool for words.

From wikipedia:

Some manned and unmanned prototypes were built, ranging up to eight tons in displacement. This led to the development of the "Caspian Sea Monster", a 550-ton military ekranoplan.[3] Although it was designed to travel a maximum of 3 m (9.8 ft) above the sea, it was found to be most efficient at 20 m (66 ft), reaching a top speed of 300 kn (350 mph; 560 km/h) (400 kn (460 mph; 740 km/h) in research flight).

Why buy Russian when you can get one of those ground effect hovercrafts right here in North America;
