"hi matthew,

good topic, i too have a huge stack of magnetron magnets,
but they are bulky, rare earth magnets, great but expensive,
best value i've found is oatley electronics in sydney,
for those who dont have acsess, magnets out of an old hard drive
are an exellent compromise, very strong and compact, and cheap,
just go to your local computer repairer and give them a cardboard
box with you name on it in bold texta and what it's for and ask
them to chuck any stuffed hard drives into it and watch it fill up.

	These days all (microwave oven) magnetrons use ceramic (ferrite)
magnets which have much less power than the "Neodynium" magnets used in
the hard drive, so the hard drive magnets are much to be preferred.
