    Thanks Eric I'll add to what I posted over at GRF here, I chuck the copper part of the magnetron into the lathe then use the sawsall to cut the metal ends off with out harming the ceramic. The solder does not contain any silver, some of the very old magnetron's did have gold brazing but i have only found one in the many years i have been stripping these things apart.
