California Bob reports:

This brings back memories. Uncle Eddy brought us one of these from Cleveland. We left Ohio in 1976, so I guess that made him an "early adopter," makes sense as he was fascinated by gizmos. Though very out of character for him to buy anything new. Especially odd cos I seem to recall these were selling for $300 at the time.

I don't recall ours having the "defrost" switch.

I also recall buying my first microwave around 1988 -- I went into a Target and was stunned to see Korean Goldstars selling for like $90.

When we moved into the basement a couple of years ago to get out of the way of the big remodeling, we bought an Emerson microwave from Freddies for about $100.
