Default Use microwave oven chassis for a radio?

I recently tore another microwave oven apart for the two really-strong
magnets that are in the tube

(they are fun to stack alternate-polarity on a wooden dowel
so they seem to "float" in the air; kids of all ages just
love to play that that "toy")

(I kept the transformer, diode, capacitor, and misc. microswitches, too),

and as I carried the rather bare chassis out to the garbage-can area,
I wondered if anyone had ever tried built an amplifier in such a chassis
-- maybe even using some of its many interlocks?
