Appreciate it I had no idea it would keep charge for so long, cool stuff!

However it isn’t broken quite yet I was just making sure that after so many years it was still safe. Didn’t know if older ones leaked more electromagnetic radiation than todays models.

Oh! I thought you were asking because you were looking to open it up and repair the rattle.

Old microwaves are generally as safe as new ones. Check the seal around the door as well as the front glass for damage, where radiation could leak through. If you want to be super sure and have some change to spare, you should be able to find a "microwave detector" or "microwave leak detector kit" to use.
