At last, something I can help with.

IMHO there's a 99.95% chance that David is right  ... so there's no need to 
overdiagnose the problem.

In over 35 years of servicing, I've not once ... not even once, needed to 
replace a degaussing coil.

I'd recomend fiiting a new degaussing thermistor (PTC)

I haven't seen a lot of TCL's but out of perhaps 10 I've seen, 8 needed a 
thermistor to solve their purity error and the other 2 had power supply 
faults.

Justin, if you leave it too much longer it will pop the mains fuse (usually 
at switch on), and then you'll need a fuse and a thermistor. Doesn't usually 
do any more damage  ...  if you're lucky!

Regards,  Roger
