Whoa! Great plan! I forgot about those! I had a chance to haul off
an old NMR once, but it was an electromagnet. Lots of iron, wire,
water, current etc. I took it apart and then decided it was WAY To
heavy to haul off. Had it been a permanent magnet, however, it would
have been gone!

Thanks Unc,
I'll snoop around!
