Jeff-
Phisherman's suggestion of wiping with cooking oil is a good one.
Been using that technique to keep my 1984 Panasonic countertop
microwave from rusting at the rotary tray wheel path.
I clean under the rotating tray every so often. The paint is only
gone on the wheel path so I can only see it when the tray is out.
I was thinking about painting but figured the paint wouldn't hold up,
plus the light oil rub has prevented any rust damage.
cheers
Bob
