Sparking Microwave

A microwave sparking violently during a cook cycle. Gentle buzzing and microwave hum are faintly audible between sparks, as well as quiet shifting from the people watching. Beginning and end of cook cycle, including beeps, are also included.

Recorded with a ZOOM H1 in 44.1kHz 24 bit WAV format. The ZOOM was a bit over one foot (30 centimeters) away, on a tripod, pointed directly at the front of the microwave. No processing has been done, not even amplification.

(If you're wondering, yes, we replaced the microwave as soon as I finished recording.)
