Well that piece isn't a magnet, it's the degauss thermister, and yea, if it is open or in this case falls apart, set will be dead. Maybe the tubes may light up, but no B+ to operate the set. If you like to try it out, just twist the loose wires together and see if the set powers up. Usually it's a 120 Ohm thermister (cold), and it drops in value as it heats up. Giving the set a slower warm up and also runs the automatic degaussing. Also check for a large black round varister with 2 leads in the degauss circuit, usually near the thermister. If it is fried, it needs to be replaced as well. Set will work with out it, just won't degauss the crt. I have a 120 ohm degauss thermister if you need one. I'll send you it free.
Sorry, only read first page of post, didn't realize you got the set going.
