Sony 30-inch 16:9 CRT Took a Drop - Now have Blotches

Cool...thanks so much for the pointer.

I have some magnets (from some disk drives) that are quite strong that
I could probably fasten with some silicon RTV caulk or something.

That'll be WAY too strong, think something along the lines of those
rubber magnetic refrigerator decals.

The April 14 poster said there are two techniques. One is to fasten
small magnets on the CRT. The second is to take a big, powerful magnet
(he used a speaker magnet) and slowly withdraw it from the CRT, to
magnetize it in a way that reverses the original problem! This will
require some experimentation....

If the aperture grill is dislodged, nothing will help.

Gee, I was all set to try some of Harbor Freight's retrieving
magnets!

Wish there was a NASA centrifuge I could spin this sucker in, to get
that grill back in position.

Got a lotta $ in that set. Homeowners ins. won't cover it. Oh well.

This has been a mini "support group" for me. ;-)

Already tried a slew of business-card size fridge magnets.

Take it to a playground and spin it around in a merry go round

Bought two of Harbor Freight's 100-lb force retrieving magnets at
$4.99 each tonight.

Each is now sitting on top of the cabinet, above CRT face at approx.
45-degree angle to front, at each corner. I may put NASCAR decals on
each. ;-)

Picture is vastly improved and OTA 1080i HD from UNC Chapel Hill
station is great! Still have one small purity-problem area in lower
corner that I can fix with another magnet.

The aperture grill is getting tugged in the right directions, for now!
May unplug the auto-degausser soon too.
