Roll a 6-10 foot extension card in a loop, about 1 foot diameter. (anything from 8" or so ... a shape convenient to hold in the hand and still maintain a loop). Plug one end into the AC outlet. Move the coil of wire around your screen in a circular pattern (once is usually enough) but when you come to the end of your circle, slowly draw the coil of wire away from the screen. or simply pull out the plug from the outlet. TV sets used to have a coil of wire around the tube and get activated every time one turned the set on for a few seconds and automatically disconnected from the AC source (internally). On some sets you could hear the thing. The above method is the way you use a "degaussing coil". 'Course you don't connect the other end of the extension cord. --wally UUCP: humu!nctams1!pnet16!isecpac ARPA: humu!nctams1!pnet16!isecpac@nosc.mil INET: isecpac@pnet16.cts.com
