Convection/Microwave - jburgessx2 - 01-25-2009 04:13 I've just purchased my first Bird and am looking for some help. The original microwave/convection oven was broken so the previous owner installed just a microwave in it's place. I would like to have the convection portion back because there isn't any other oven installed. I like my baked goods and the wife want's her oven back! Has anyone else had this problem? What model/brand microwave/convection oven will fit in the original hole on a 1985 PT40? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If no one knows, I can always do the measurements and search myself. But, I thought someone may have already been down this road. Thanks. Jerry 1985 PT40 Convection/Microwave - Ralph L. Fullenwider - 01-25-2009 04:56 Hi Jerry and congrats on your Bird. Check out the Sharp 930 convection/microwave it is 18.8 deep, 14.9 high and 25 wide and fits like a glove, and a good unit.

In recent years, I've heard reports from folks who've used Sharp brand microwave/convection ovens to replace broken/worn out units. Basically, its going to be a matter of simply measuring the available space and finding one that will fit. Since these units are designed to fit over stoves in homes, they tend to be about the same size, so there are probably many units that will fit. It probably pays to shop around.

Fits nicely, needed a 1/2" shim(plywood with hardwood trim pc to look like the rest of the Bird) Works great. Dam near all convection/microwaves are made by SHARP. So don't blow a bunch of money on DACOR or VIKING, they are made by SHARP. Of course I didn't learn that until I had bought the DACOR($850) for the Bird and VIKING($1,500) for the house. They are the same except the hood ornament....Daaa.....Live and learn Jay Darst 85PT40 91Prevost Royale 40XL for sale Sullivan, IL --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "jburgessx2" > > Ralph, > > Thanks a bunch.

Convection/Microwave - jburgessx2 - 01-25-2009 11:40 Jay, That's good to know. I know I had a Sharp in my Beaver and it was a top notch microwave/convection oven and still runs strong today after 20+ years.
