Would it be possible to make a SGTC, mostly from parts found in the microwave?

MOC's could be used as capacitors

MOT could act as power source.

Cooling Fan could be built into rotary spark gap.

Several feets of wires for primary winding

I would recommend like two ovens so you can make a voltage tripler and then you could use the fan for rsg or for the wire for the secondary. But, yes it is possible. Link2
Go down to(obviously) Tesla coil made only out of parts from a single microwave oven.

if you can find an old monitor / tv and together with the microwaveoven, you could build a small flyback driven sgtc.

like this. Link2

If you would like to do it, please note that the secondary I used should have been thinner and taller, a width 1:5 height ratio would have been better.

Steve connor's made a DC Tesla coil, with only one MOT ..
Using a Quadrupler in output, has about 10kv @ 150ma

And spectacular sparks!!!
