Seems like the part you described is a magnetron - the part which actually creates microwaves. The part itself will cost you more than $80. If the microwave channel in the body of the microwave is damaged due to arcing - it's not repairable at all. I would recommend just to replace the whole microwave. They are not expensive today.
