Hey guys

Quick question - anyone know where I could buy a degaussing wand / coil to test on my TV here at home? Its from the UK and its gone a bit funny being down here in Aus.

I've checked Dick Smith and Jaycar and neither stock them, any ideas?

This is the only thing i could find in australia

I also saw that jaycar used to have them and the page with them has been removed.

most good tvs auto degause on turn on, that being said if you want to use a wand its best to rent one or to make friends with a tv guy.
no idea where you can rent one from tho, sorry

Or get a powerpack for a modem (for example), plug it into a powerboard then plug the powerboard into the mains. Wave the powerpack in front of the TV/CRT, and bam, instant degaussing wand.

most good? I haven't seen a tv yet that hasn't had a built in degauss coil mounted around the tube. Sometimes though it comes loose or the screen thing gets magnetised I think which renders the built in thing useless.

Lonewolf: That may be one of the best tips I've heard in years. Cheers.
