Degaussing a color TV...

[Brutuskend]

Anyone ever done this using a degaussing coil?

Know where I can borrow or rent one?

I just got turned onto a nice TV set for free!

Problem is it's got one'o those rainbows across the top of the screen.
I would imagine degaussing would get rid of it.

Would a TV repair place clear this up for me, and if so, what do you suppose they would charge?

watching the screen go all funny and come back to normal is the best

TV repair place should be able to do it. Sometimes you can take a magnet and "work" out the colors yourself. Just be careful not to get it too close or make the problem worse.

Radio Shack used to sell plug-in wands pretty cheap, you might check the online catalog.

A repair visit would likely cost $50-100 (guess) but if there is a mom-n-pop appliance repair store near you it might be less or they might loan you a coil / wand for $x and a security deposit.
