there was a built in version in the late 50s -early 60s, i think Branded Raytheon, with 240V dual magnetrons. Thy pop up once in a while, saw one on Craigslist once. Amana was purchased by Raytheon in the 60's and came out with the first amana radarage in 1967- first counter-top model, most Amama microwaves up until the early 80s were evolution of this first design. the 70s models are not hard to find. If you plan to actually use it, id recommend nothing earlier than the RR-4d model, it was the first with a defrost setting, early models are full power only. the RR4d looks very close to the earlier models. the first model RR-1 and possible the RR-2 just had a screen on the door window, no glass or plastic. allowed you to smell the food cooking, but must have been hard to clean...
