Interesting concept!  Would be difficult to dissassemble then reassemble
aluminum cooling plates after magnet removal, but without magnets no
microwaves.  Could be a very good pulse power HV vacuum rectifier...
with fils power available via the MOT.  Peak voltage would be in the 4-6kV
range, enough for a small (<1kVA) LSPS VTTC.

Another project to add to the "To Do List".
