Most would come from the back of old speakers Peter.

The tip or St Vinnies may be a good start.

Yep, what John said.
You can pick up old or busted speakers at the dumps shops for a couple of dollars each. Pull them apart to get the magnets out, slip the magnets into a thin sock, then attach.

Apparently there are great magnets in microwave ovens. They are strong enough that you can put stick-on plastic feet on them, so you don't mark the tube's paint, and they will still stick. I however have never found one and so am still marking the paint with a speaker magnet.
