If you can be a little bit flexible, and you don't need continuous

What do I do after I put in my cup of coffee?

Sorry.... bad joke.

It's for AM on a pair of 813's so think I need to think bigger but...


Well, figure input power on a good-sized Amana microwave is around 1000W,
so you're in the ballpark at least. If you can find two microwaves of the
same model you can parallel the transformers. Be sure to cool the things,
though, if you're going to be running any reasonable duty cycle.
