I throw out the microwaves when they start catching fire

I have an American made Waring Blender I still use - last week - at least 30 years, could be 40 years old. I think I was still able to find and replace a gasket a few years back, maybe the plastic lid too? forget.

No, I'm not kidding about the microwaves.
