Answer 1

I don't think that model is rare at all. They made a great many of them.

Answer 2

1970 Microwave

Answer 3

If it was built in the 1970s, it DOES NOT predate microwaves with a turn table. The microwave in my basement is proof of that.

Answer 4

I have a Toshiba ER-649 from 1977. It has never gone wrong.
