Worked GREAT!
By Brice Center
This thing worked great for me. I have an old 1990's arcade game in my basement that developed a nasty color problem on it's CRT screen. I mean it looked bad all over...purple and pink.I got this degaussing ring hoping it would work, and it did wonderfully. It fully restored the screen back to normal colors. A heck of a lot cheaper than the new custom CRT screen that I though I was going to have to buy.Here's the trick to using it though. Plug it in. Hold it with the ring flat relative to the front of the screen. Turn it on, move it around the screen until the proper colors return, then keep it on and slowly walk away from the screen still holding the ring flat relative to the front of the screen until you are about 10 ft away before you shut it off. This will ensure that you do not introduce any other color issues with the ring by shutting it off near the screen.This will work with natural gaussing issues. If you have a very strong magnet that gets too close to a screen for too long, you will have a permanent color issue that cannot be fixed. That may be what happened to the other reviewer who said it didn't work for him after he placed speaker and a guitar amp too close to his TV.Hey, for $65 it's worth a try...cheaper than replacing a screen. Plus then you'll have it around for the next time.Yes, this is a demagnetizer, so definitely keep it away from electronics other than your TV, and any VHS or audio tape, and I would keep it away from harddrives, and solid state memory stick, etc. This will erase tapes and magnetic media.

Our 36" table top tv tube started distorting the colors. We had the Wii battery/power cord too close to the tube. I had used one of these degaussing coils years ago when I use to work at Rent A Center. I ordered this one, it took doing it three seperate times (about 3 minuntes total) to get all the color back to normal. Well worth the money and less than a trip to the service department or a new tv.

I have a cocktail style video arcade machine and I accidentally placed a fairly strong magnet on it for a full 24 hours. The screen colors looked all wrong, and I was sad that I had messed up a prized possession.I didn't know if the degaussing would work, since some of the online reviews I read stated that it won't work if the damage was due to a strong magnet.Well, I plugged in the degaussing coil, waved it over the screen for about 10 seconds (following the directions that came with it), and it worked like a charm!The colors are all back to normal now. I'm very happy with the results.
