CRT Demagnetizer (Degausser)

[Ian Matthews]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can acquire a CRT Degaussing Coil? I'm even
willing to make my own if anyone has a suitable circuit diagram.

The only commercially available ones I've found on the net are from the US -
apart from the expense of shipping one to NZ it would need a 240v to 110v
transformer....

Thanks in anticipation

a monitor or tv will degauss itself from cold.

Depends on model, modern mmonitors have a separate degauss option in the
menu

That's _as well_ as coldstart degausing.

At that stage it needs a repairman with a good large degaussing wand.

Most TV servicemen can do this.

Beileve me, it's cheaper to pay a serviceman to show up and wave his magic
weand over it. A good degausser is more expensive than most monitors.

I should have been more specific, I know that monitors and (modern) TV
automatically degauss each time the thing is switched on. I'm refurbishing
a couple of old-ish TV's - all they need is degaussing as they were stored
close to a PA speaker. I'm trying to save a few bucks as the TV's are only
worth $50 tops the pair!

I'll cross my local TV repair man's palm with some with some silver I
guess...

Thanks to the group anyway

In the past I've just used a coil of wire on a iron rod connected to a AC
power supply. Just make sure the coil has enough resistance so as not to
draw excessive current.
Just wave close and gradually move away.

If you run them for a while eventually the impureities will disappear. I
ad this strange thing happen when my TV was turned off for a week at the
wall. When I came back it had all this impurities, horrible colours etc,
which eventually did disappear completely, must be with the cold start
