I just thought I'd share a funny conversation I just had with a TV repair shop I found in the phonebook: Me: "I need to degauss a TV" Guy: "You need to what?" Me: "Degauss." Guy: "Uh... What model is it?" Me: a bit confused "It's an RCA" Guy: "What year?" Me: "1990" Guy: "What's the problem with it?" Me: "I need to degauss it." Guy: "What do you mean?" Me: "I need to clear the magnetic fields... Like, I got a magnet too close to it and now the colors are all messed up..." Guy: "That doesn't happen!!" Me: "Yes it does!" Guy: "No, it doesn't." *click* Maybe my reaction wasn't terribly polite, but I was really shocked! -Ash |

They probably aren't too used to dealing with customers that are modding and decasing tvs. In his world that probably DOESN'T happen :) |

Haha... You have a very good point there. But it's not that strange of a request! Rare, maybe. |

A poor mans degauser is a corded drill. Plug it in and float the "coil" part over the spot(s) that are washed/faded while the drill is running. Not as good as a degause wand, but did the trick for me. Food for thought... |
