It sounded like there was no magnetron load on the power supply, because the cooling fan was spinning a little faster and the interior was a little brighter. This was during the few seconds between the smoke show and from me pulling the plug.

There was indeed a char mark on the mica sheet, but the beryllium terror at the time was enough for me to chuck it.

You would expect less load on the power supply if there was an arc causing a short in the waveguide.
