Dave-

The built in degausser is only designed to take care of residual magnetism
that might build up from operation. To get rid of what you have you will
need an external degaussing coil. The one's they sell for consumer use are
approx 4 to 6 inches dia. They don't have much strength. A professional coil
is usually about 10 to 12 in dia and are much more powerful. Whichever one
you use, follow this procedure:
1. Holding the coil at least 6 feet from the monitor, turn it on.
2. Moving the coil in a flat circular motion, move the coil towards the face
of the crt. Do not stop the circular motion or turn the coil off while close
to the monitor.
3. While using a circular motion bring the coil in close, right against the
face of the crt in the areas where the impurities are then slowly move the
coil out slightly and continue all around the face of the crt and while
keeping the coil slowly moving, slowly move the coil out away from the crt.
4. When you are approx 6 ft from the monitor, you can turn the coil so it is
at a 90 deg angle to the monitor and turn it off. Then check your results.
 You may have to do this more then once to get the desired results. The
IMPORTANT thing to remember is "DO NOT TURN THE COIL ON OR OFF WHILE IN
CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE MONITOR'.

Hope this helps,
John Dinges
