CRT TV problems

[Metalcookie]

I bought a Sony Wega at a thrift store for about 50 bucks. Only problem was that almost the whole right side looks like it's been messed up by a magnet.

The images are quite large.
I did notice that other TVs at that thrift store had the same problem, with only one side being messed up, and they had been sitting right next to other TVs for quite a while. Do I just need to degauss it with a degaussing coil? I'm pretty sure the internal degaussing coil is still working, but just isn't powerful enough.

Try rotating it a bit

You can make your own degaussing coil if you need to and do it manually like in the old days.

Well, I think there is something wrong with the internal degaussing coil. I was able to take a magnet and get the picture near perfect by moving the magnet up and down the screen. There was a bit of discoloring on the sides but other than that perfect, until I unplugged the TV and plugged it back in. The picture is exactly the same as it was in the pictures. Should I just fix the picture with a degaussing coil and remove the internal degaussing coil?

why would you pay $50 for a CRT TV? Just get one off craig's list.

I'd pay $50 for a good HD CRT if I had room for one. I saw a bunch of those last time I was in a pawn shop.
