You can try MCM electronics, Digikey or Newark as they have replacement magnetrons. Also, replace the high voltage diode that is associated with that magnetron or you will probably burn up your newly acquired magnetron.
Energies associated with magnetrons can be fatal. Know what you are doing prior to replacement.
It sounds like the magnetron may have
either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high
voltage required to run it.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is
discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of repair.
Check
the door interlock switches first then the high voltage diode with
either an AVO model 8 on high resistance range for short circuit, the
capacitor can fail and go short circuit, the feed fuse on the primary
of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the magnetron is
best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.
