Sure (Like fitting a fuse is much cheaper than paying out when the thing

More seriously, I was only disputing the OP's claim that some colour CRT
TVs /monitors were sold without degaussing coils. Can anyone poitn me to
a service sheet/schematic for such a set?

I've never seen a CRT-based colour TV or
monitor without a degaussing
coil around the CRT flare and a little posistor circuit to produce a
decaying AC field at switch-on. Even cheap brands, like Amstrad, had
them over here. -tony
That's one of those cases where they have to put them in to *save*
money. Putting in a degaussing coil is *much* cheaper than a single
warranty servicing.
