ever since I was a child, magnets have held a fascination for me. I've been
collecting them ever since. It used to be that you could always scrounge
loudspeakers for Alnico magnets. Then when the newer ceramic magnets began
to be incorporated into loudspeakers, it became a challenge to remove them
from their enclosures without breaking them. Now, I have to admit, I am
having a ball collecting the new 'super magnets' - like the ones inside hard
drives. There are also cool cylindrical magnets that you can get from inside
the heads of VHS machines. My question is does anyone know of other sources
either for Neodymium 'duper magnets', or strong ceramic magnets


Strip down an old microwave oven, but be careful of the HV cap, it may
still be charged. (about 1uF at 3000v !!!!) Every one I have found has
a bleeder resistor acros it, so is safe, but you never know.

Anyway, remove the Magnetron and pull it to bits, 2 nice "doughnut"
ceramic magnets await you.
