Beley:
The best way i have found to degauss a CRT (short of acually usign a real degaus tool) is using a regular audio amplifier and hook it up to a large coil of wire, then play a sinewave through the amp and when you are done slowly turn the amp down to nothing, it works great ive done it many times.  For the coil you can use almost anything that has a resistance larger then the minimum resistance of the amp you are using(ie 8 ohms) such as a solonoid, electromagnet(if you happen to have one kicking around), voice coil ripped out of an old speaker.  

To get the sinewave just use an audio editing program for your pc ( sound forge can do it, and so can cooledit i think)

A to shield a speaker you would need to mount another magnetic of similar strength to the back of the speaker magnet.  I think it needs to be installed in the position where it doesn't want to go.  That's why it's so tricky to do.  I'm sure that their is a site that can tell you how to do it.  

Much easier just to buy an already shielded speaker.  They aren't that much more expensive, but can be challenging to find just the right speaker already shielded.

If you have a soldering gun it will work like a degausing coil, I use it on TVs when this happens and it works great.

Nailz:
Well, I tried the drill and the blender trick, neither one of them worked.  I got my degaussing coil from Happ today and it worked like a charm!  That crappy discoloration is gone and the monitor looks great now.

Thanks again guys
