But outside of a more power degausser and time there is no real cure.

When you find one with an old gray headed tech explain your problem.
He'll know what your talking about.
It may take a little time for him to locate his vintage degauss coil but that should work.
He got a lot of practice with it back in the 60's.
(NT) ty all for suggs!

by boomslang - 9/1/06 7:10 AM In reply to: say it's not the end! by Frank WryteHad it happen here with one of those high strength neodynium magnets and a 27 inch tv set. I had a tape head demagnetiser which managed to knock most of the magnetic field out of the mask after quite a few passes. They're pretty weak when it comes to degaussing something like this, but after a month, the built in degaussing coil finally cleared the residual magnetism.
Deguassing coil
by micker377 - 9/1/06 1:05 PM In reply to: Degaussing screens... by boomslangSince I no longer do TV repairs, I don't have my trusty deguassing coil. Instead I (carefully) use my soldering gun. The transformer part makes a good geguassing coil. Just don't burn anything with the tip!
Sometimes...
by kljw - 9/4/06 9:07 AM In reply to: say it's not the end! by Frank WryteI know both my crt's including a 10 year old princeton have an automatic demagnetizing function that can be activated from it's control menu. Or my newer samsung I think does it automatically every power on. Don't know if yours can but might be easier than taking apart and degaussing.
