Unwelcomed attraction.

I've used my degausser quite a few times. I looked at it today. It was made by Bib and was designed for wiping VHS or Beta cassettes. Occasionally I've deliberately used it to magnetise a CRT to a point that's well beyond the set's internal degauss coils. Purely as a demonstration, certainly not with malice.

I've used my home-made 25kV probe many times. I think I built it in 1974, using 15x 33M VR37 series resistors "borrowed" from the drawer at the labs where I spent my gap year.
