BTW....there is an old price is right episode from 1960 or so...that a microwave oven was given away on. It is a BW episode and the format is MUCH different than today's TPIR. i think they said it was $1100 or so... it was a HUGE thing..obviously built-in . They did a LONG demonstration of it.
I have the episode saved on real player....BUT that is on my main computer...which is STILL down right now...for a couple of weeks now. Thank GOD...for this little laptop of mine...or I would be "out in the cold "computer--wise !!

Not sure of the exact episode...( pretty sure it was a 1960 episode)..and the microwave oven was not given away in the first round...but somewhat later the half-hour episode. The episode WAS still on-line a few months ago... It WAS on youtube though and people were commenting on it...

FOUND it !!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrO7SjFwa9o Kinda interesting in the way they give a DETAILED demonstration of the prizes..unlike TODAY...when even the BRAND of a prize is often omitted !! THINK about it for a minutes...about the equivalent of 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS..for a MICROWAVE OVEN today !! That much money will buy one a VERY decent used CAR now !!

Of course...microwave ovens are NOT NEARLY...as "magical" as this video and a lot of other stories of old portrayed..they DEFINITELY have their limitations.
Nonetheless. two ENTIRE GENERATIONS of children...have likely had most of their meals at least partially prepared and most ALL of then ..re..heated in them !!
