Mine didn't come with the plugs. Sealed mechanism, but cleanable thru the oil hole with JAFE juice then let drip dry and add some oil.

Yep. I found an old (1988) Panasonic microwave with GLASS rotating plate in the alley, thrown out. Took it apart, and all I found was the door switch was stuck "on" due to years of grease and gunk. Replaced the switch, gave it a good cleaning, and it's now my back-up micro for the house. I'm surprised the glass plate has survived intact.
Just amazing what folks throw away!
