I own an early 1970's Amana Radarange (with the analog dials and all
chrome front). It still works great but the window is all clouded and
dirty inside. I have a replacement I'd like to use. Here's my
problem... I can't remove those "safety" screws they used on the
door!
And I can't seem to find any tools that will work either. These are
not regular "safety screws" but look like something specially
designed
BY Amana. I plan on replacing them with normal screws if I can just
get the old ones out. Does anybody know where I can find the proper
tool for removing those screws?

a dremel with grinding disc will put a slot in the heads. But the
early 70s nukes are so lacking in safety features I'd replace it.

What safety features? As far as I know, they had all the same interlocks as modern ovens. Microwaves have not changed much in the last 30 years other than cost reductions. Those old Amana microwaves are classic, built like tanks and last forever. Wish I had one myself.
