I'd rather like to get my hands on a degausser but
it seems the
audiophools have pushed the prices up to silly levels around here... and
I don't have a suitable transformer to chop up to make one.
What is speacial about the transformer you need? I thohght all you needed
was any fairly large non-torroidal transformer with a mains winding. Take
the core apart, reassamble all the E-laminations the same way round and
laeve out the Is. Run the mains winding from a lower voltage (a Variac is
handy here, it's about the only thing it is handy for ;-)) since the
impedance of the winding will be much lower with the open magnetic circuit.
