Removing Magnets from Cups - I need your crazy ideas!

(1/2) > >>

javeryh:
OK, I'm out of ideas... how am I supposed to remove the magnet from the countersunk cup in the picture?  I can't even slip a razor blade in there to pop it out.  Any ideas?  Of course googling it I get responses like "if you are ever planning to remove the magnet just file a notch in the side of the cup" - I'm WAY past that (obviously).  Why isn't this built into the design?  

Any help would be GREAT.  Thanks!   :cheers:

Do you need to keep the magnet? If not, I would dremmel a slot into it and lever it out with a screwdriver.
Alternatively, demagnetise it and fill over it maybe?

What it anyway?

paigeoliver:
That looks like wood, right? Get a holesaw a bit bigger than the magnet. Drill in around it, use a screwdriver to pop out the whole hunk of wood around it, fill the hole in with wood filler.

Is this on your Mountain Jukebox, James?

A large rare earth magnet or an electro magnet should pull it out without any damage as long as its only magnetism holding it in place.
