Show what fun a degaussing coil does with a color CRT. I used to make side cash fixing people's TV's that had discolored. Looks like voodoo.

Can't you remove the cathode assembly from the tube and rejuvenate it by putting it in the dishwasher for a couple of cleaning cycles??

I had one of these back in the Eighties. I could go to Goodwill and rummage though the many buckets full of old tubes, pay a few cents for the ones I needed, and ta da! My set would live again.

I had a similar rejuvenator use for colour CRT many old CRTs have a very long live as the Cathodes are bigger and stronger. not like a new tube fails in 1/2 hour
