Just did. No magnetic attraction at all to the copper. Interestingly though, the screws that secure the outer body are magnetic as hell. I thought they were aluminum, but they're obviously a carbon steel with a plating. Shouldn't be too difficult to find some aluminum or 300 series stainless screws to replace them.

And if you want a really strong magnet to play with, go get that old 5 1/4" hard drive that's corroding in the forgotten box in the basement and take a sledgehammer to it (or I guess you could remove screws and stuff, but the sledgehammer is way more fun). The magnets inside those things will give you a nice blood blister if you get your finger between the magnet and something ferrous. Ask me how I know. :)
