   When our microwave needed to be replaced, I salvaged not only the   
   turntable and roller guide, but also the plastic spindle that sits on   
   the turntable motor's shaft and has horizontal leaves that fit into the   
   underside of the turntable.  I once had one of those spontaneously crack   
   apart and the replacement part (plus shipping) seemed disproportionately   
   expensive for a small piece of molded plastic.  Good to have a spare.
