Nope, only in higher-end legacy lab equipment. With legacy I mean 25
years old.

The laws of magnetics have not been repealed in the last 25 years.

ALL good quality scopes using CRTs have mu-metal shields.

Even ones made today.


On flat screen displays? What for? Sorry, but that would be like
applying sun screen under the swimsuit.


Learn to read, dummy. It says RIGHT THERE 8 lines up... C R T s

Note that he wrote he needs a square foot. I've only seen that much in
really old scopes.


Old 20" CRTs for PCs as well as some TVs have it.

Newer CRT versions have a skinny shield right around
the CRT and that ain't going to be enough to harvest a complete sqft from.


Then he'll just have to cannibalize two. D'oh!
