Barkuti:
As stated, a corded drill will do the job, but also a hairdryer or any other AC tool powering a coil inside.

My brother in law had a 27" Vega... hired a guy to work on his fireplace. The guy used the top of the TV as a place to keep his power tools while he worked. Totally fragged the magnetization of the tube and then said it was like that when he got there. ::)

you want to know how to degauss a tv this old? I did this w/ my ex-gf's tv (unfortunately it had been burnt for so long the color was lost in that spot, but its not green anymore!)
First, unplug the tv, let it sit for 3-4 minutes.
Next, turn the TV on its side and plug it back in.
Turn on the tv, maybe play something for 5-6 minutes.
Turn off the tv, and unplug it. Let it sit for another 3-4 minutes.
Turn the tv back to its original state and plug it back in.
Viola, instant degauss, well sorta.
This is a trick my bro got off a forum of shmups players (vertical shmups to be exact.) Works great, and fixes every problem I've seen so far.
