you just saved me 500 bucks; i was planning to drive over to Betson in Phoenix and buy a new multisync in a few days because of a large green wash in the corners of my multisync. Because of your video i learned where the degausser is on my monitor, found it had slipped off the corners, and placed it back and hit the degauss button. It took a few times, but no more wash! THANK YOU!
Thanks for your help, I just noticed the shooter "1942" chosen to do the demonstration of degaussing. During WWII military ships were installed with degaussing coils to demagnetizes ship hauls to counter German magnetic mines.
Thank you so much! I just bought a Commodore monitor and it's corners, all of them, are discolored. Now I know how to fix it. 👍
Very thorough and professional. Thank you for this I am going to buy one and do it to my T.V.
No wonder why my living room TV had its own built-in degaussing back int he 90's.. I didn't understand; I was just a 10 year old fascinated on how things work pushing its degaussing button LOL;;; It'll wobble my screen really fast in a lot of color for a second; and then it'll click the screen normal back in place.. THANKS! I believe it was a Megnovox. It has taken me 20 year's to know this thanks to you; we are now LCD's :")))
I just wanted to express my appreciation for this video. I purchased a degaussing coil on walmart.com for $17. I didn't know how it worked until I watched your video. I have an arcade unit that has over a hundred and sixty games on it. I noticed it mostly on Donkey Kong and Miss Pac-Man. The right side of my monitor was very faded and cloudy. With your help I learned how to use this and it now works perfectly. Thank you again so much.
So Rad you fixed it👍👍👍👍Hope your still have it ✌️🏝
@@shanefraser7764 actually, i do 👍😊
Great video. Thanks !!!!!!👍😁
very helpful educational vids - EXCELLENT !
best damn arcade show online.
@TapGage Yes, we have used this particular degaussing coil on a 25 inch monitor and it works on that as well.
@UpNorthLiving2011 Unfortunately we do not sell the degaussing coils on our site. You can, however, buy the same degaussing coil that Tim uses in the video from MCM Electronics for around $30 (NOT including S&H). Just do a Google search for "mcm degaussing coil" it should be the first link.
Thanks mate
I think I need one of these.

Michael,
Ha ha! Thanks for the comment! How's the Capcom Bowling restoration coming?
Random question from the future. What font do you use for your titles?
My arcade CRT shows some discoloration on one side when that side is placed close to a wall. So it seems some radiation from the CRT is bouncing off the wall, and back in, and causing some interference. If I turn the machine, you can see the discoloration disappear. How do I troubleshoot/fix this?
I stored an arcade monitor with this problem. I wont use it now. I wanna know if the passage of time does a natural "degaussing" with the monitor. Thanks.
I don't use a coil, I just move up north until the yellow tint goes away. Just kidding. Nice video, some coils have a 1 minute on and off time, so you don't overheat it. At least mine did.
Will this work on a large 25 inch monitor?
Where can I purchase one? I just bought a Frogger machine that can really use this product. Thank You
You can purchase a degaussing coil from Twisted Quarter (bit.ly/tq-degauss-coil
) or several of the other arcade parts supplies that we have on our Resources page on our website (www.arcaderepairtips.com/resources). Hope that helps.

My colors on Ms. Pacman have become dull when they were very much alive before. The color will flash in and out like they are fighting to go back to normal. Sometimes it will even stay normal for a whole minute but eventually flashes back to the dull colors. Even color everywhere. Does this sound like a need to recap it or degauss it?
BigLeftToe, thank you for your question. Just wanted to let you know that we will be covering your question on episode 30 of our Live Show on August 1 at 5:30 PM CT on RUclips.

is this coil capable of erasing VHS tapes ? Where can one be purchased ?
In Australia the coil is $75 and the wand is like $20. Would a wand work just as well?
I have tried this on my monitor several times with a degaussing wand and have had no luck. Is there any other way to do this?
Is this dangerous to do to vector or monochrome monitors?
So glad my Jambo Safari has a Degauss button. XD
I have a joker poker game, the screen has gone blue with a bunch of lines and can’t see a thing, it started. With a bunch of grey lines then got bad. Can you point me in the right direction?
Justplainnasty, make sure you replace the battery and check the power supply. See our post on Inspecting An Arcade Board for more tips. If it plays with no objects on the screen, could be some bad ROM chips on the board. Hope that helps.

@corndog125nalald i agree!!!
only works on a CRT monitor, not LCD or plasma
Dude seriously, use it on your TV you say. Although you can not say it would be impossible to find a CRT in anyone home now days, I will say it will be a challenge.
