Sounds like the kind of magnet you find on the back of a large  
speaker. Does it matter to you how the poles are arranged? Maybe you  
could find a cheap or damaged woofer somewhere and scavenge its  
magnet, assuming speaker design hasn't changed much since the last  
time I pulled one apart. (Sometimes the magnets are hard to remove  
from the speaker without breaking them, though.)

Otherwise, maybe Science Art & More in Roosevelt?
