Make a de mag for mtc900/e

[Retroman839]

I’m missing a de mag cable around my
Tube as it is not an original hanterex tube ..

I have purchased from swallow amusements the 2pin connectors.

And I see the 2 x 2 pin connecters
One for momentary switch or bridged for degause on power up,
Here


If I wanted to make one ..What recommend gauge wire to use for
The degause wire ? Thnx

Not sure I understand. The degaussing 'wire' around the tube is a coil, not a simple wire. The coil creates a magnetic field when current is passed through it. It would be difficult to make one, I would think.

one big loop of copper wire isn't it?

I admit I assumed it would have to be a coil. 🤷‍♂️ I'm no electronics expert.

Nor me lol, never opened one up and thats only pics can find and google says same
then you have these which must just be one big loop wrapped around for cheap degauss tool

Here's what AI has to say, if you can believe it. Lol

Unless you removed it by accident, assuming it's the crt from that Fidelity TV you had with the damaged case, being as it's a colour crt it should've had a degaussing ring already there.

Yeh good point …👍
will look again ..

What size tube?,I have a 19” one soare

 

[Retroman839]

19” mate

If the degaus is the same as used on an MTC9000 (think it probably is) I may well have a spare also .

 

[Retroman839]

I wouls
Imagine the tube size has to be pretty close ..

I will check my
Tube tomorrow incase I actually does have one already ..

I should have done that already .. before asking ! But I think I’m asking because I already subconsciously must have seen it missing .. I think !

 

[stevebm1]

Some of the degaussing loops on tv tubes tend to be thinner and in two halves,as opposed to one big loop,the samsung tv’s I pinched the tubes from recently,both had the thinner type

 

[tb2000]

Yeah some have them in a sort of figure 8 round the back of the crt, rather than just around the edge.

https://ebay.io/m/K4sWNb i'd just buy this one and be done with it.

 

[Retroman839]

I have taken a look
I have one on the tube

I don’t have this yellow loop
Link though



I will wire in a momentary button to here .

 

[tb2000]

You might not need one. I think the chassis is already hardwired to automatically degauss at power up.

 

[Retroman839]

Yes or add button
I’m thinking of adding button
