Oscar Degaussing Coil not working at all :(

sfetaz:

I have done everything correctly on Oscar's site for making a degaussing coil.  However it does not work.  I believe it is because the magnet wire needs to be stripped so that it can make contact with the AC plug and light socket.  How would I go about stripping this wire?  Thanks!

sfetaz:

I was able to strip the wire using a soldering iron.  The light now lights, but the coil itself never gets warm or hot and does not degaus my TV or computer monitor.  I have even tried a 15 watt bulb.  Any ideas?

Zakk:

Run a -corded- electric drill near the monitor, I've heard that it will act much like a deguassing coil.  Maybe though you have a problem that can't be fixed with a simple deguass?  Try the drill trick though.

sfetaz:

There is actually no problem at this time.  But when I transport my DDR Machine, sometimes on site the corner gets purple, so I am building one to use.  I have heard about the drill thing but would like to do it the right way.

I am havin some gaussing probs but I never heard of the drill solution I'm gonna try it right now!
