I also measured amperage during operation. No surprise that it was only between 3.5A to 4.5A.

Next step(s)?

At this point I'm tempted to change out the magnetron (I have a replacement here) just to see if I was getting false 'good' readings when I tested it. But, that still doesn't explain the low current draw. . . does it?

Ok youre getting 120VAC off of the smart board relay but are you getting it at the transformer primary terminals themselves?
