You can build a degausser. Wrap an iron rod with wire. Then run an ac

That's a good way to warp the shadow mask. You want the alternating
magnetic field spread out over a larger area. I made 14" diameter coils
with 250 turns of 17 AWG double enamel with a double cotton covered
wire. I made a coil winder and wound a bunch of them in 1970. I also
used a heavy duty push button switch and a 20 foot AC cord so it was
easier to find an outlet to use it on service calls. I still have the
first one I built.
