Geez, you turn on the TV and the coil, wave the coil over the TV like a magic wand while marveling over the neat colors, move the coil away and then turn it off. If he can't handle that, please tell me he doesn't drive a car because THAT's a whole lot harder.

He drove the car through the front wall of the house and knocked the TV over - that's why it needs degaussing.

Its entertaining but it really doesn't show walking up to the crt with the coil perpendicular to the screen then during backing off repeating this step. I guess that I can explain this over the phone. Thanks, Lenny.

Unless your brother has small children that like to play with magnets against the front of the TV, degauss problems are relatively rare unless the degauss posistor fails. The thermistor pellet often shatters and will sometimes go intermittent short before finally going completely open circuit - this usually causes severe purity errors but they can just fail open circuit with more subtle colour errors.

This set was water damaged and although it works it has a fault in the degaussing circuit, (logic controlled through a degauss relay), and an open coil as well. So it is incapable of degaussing the CRT on turn on. I felt that it wasn't worth getting into especially from a distance. The external coil is something I suspect he may have to use twice a year if that. Lenny..
