Question about Televison & Video
Your screen mask may have become magnetized. This will require that you have the CRT degaussed. This is done with the use of a degaussing coil. you have to stand about 10 feet from the TV with the coil held vertically and moving it in a circular pattern as you walk towards the tv. Once you are about 1-2 inches from the TV stop and continue the circular pattern for about a three count then backup from the tv still using the circular motion once you are about 10 feet from the tv turn the coil to a horizontal plane and move it away quickly and turn it off. This should degauss the TV and remove the color distortion.
You will need a degaussing coil to perform this task.

Hello,
A degaussing coil can cost fro $49.00 - $60.00 depending on the one you buy. The cost of having a person Degauss your TV is from $100.00 to $250.00 depending on their house call policy.
Just to give you an example, at my shop I charge $60.00 for the degaussing and $40.00 per 20 mile radius for the house call so the base price is $100.00 + $40.00 for each additional 20 miles I have to drive. One customer lived in Sterling Va which is 52 miles from my shop. They ended up paying $180.00. This will give you an idea of the possible cost to you, for someone to come out.
Now to defer this cost you could take your TV into a shop, this will end up being about $60.00 - $80.00.
I hope this helps,
Thank you,

Are they expensive or should I get an engineer in, (it's got worse).
