Hi Peter,
         Pull the back cover off the magnetron, and you'll find 2 nice 
little ferrite-rod chokes that work great in VTTC's for noise suppression, 
also, if you carefully dismantle it, you can get 2 nice ceramic magnets out 
of it.  The magnetron tubes themselves are pretty useless, they don't do 
much for us TC'ers.   Hope it helps!
