Monitor deflection magnets; what to do when one falls out & breaks?

I also wanted to point out one thing (just to be clear/pedantic)

There are several (5-6?) small (like 1/4" x 1/2") magnets glued in
random places around the yoke collar.

These are not, however, the ones I'm talking about. I'm talking about the
ones that are "cylinder magnets" in the "mmm" places below. They are all
about 2" long.

(hard to imagine why I would stoop to ascii art in this day of digital cameras)

viewed "through" the crt from the front:

                -------------------
                      / mmmmmmmmmmmmm \
              / mmmmmmmmmmmmm <------ this one fell out
             |mm mm|
             |mm mm|
             |mm --- mm|
             |mm / \ mm|
                    |mm \ / mm|
             |mm --- mm|
                    |mm mm|
              \ mmmmmmmmmmmmm /
               \ mmmmmmmmmmmmm /
