Thanks

Magnets are the source of the problem with CRTs. eg the earth's magnet field or a speaker magnet. These fields are fixed. A demagnatizer or degausser is an alternating magnetic field that removes the magnetized areas of a CRT by using ac current to produce a constantly changing field.

Use an electric drill like a degausser if you do not have the proper equipment. There was info on that in the forum previously.
