Heh I've used a Weller 140 watt gun to degauss.

I cannot imagine that the CRT is so magnetized.....
The TV did not have this problems when it still was at the owner where
I got this TV set from...
I only dismounted it and cleaned it with a vacuum cleaner, because it
was very dirty and dusty inside.
The original problem was that vertical black and white bars were
visible in the picture, even without input signal.
This was caused by a bad capacitor in the power supply line of the
video amp.
But after replacing of the cap it turned out that the corners of the
picture where colored....
Can it be a loose contact somewhere from a coil?
I checked all the plugs and they are all fitted OK.
It was maybe a good idea to turn the set on before dismounting....
Transportation went without problems, the set was not put down very
hard.
I moved the set around the room, but the color spots are still
there.....
