Re-reading your post (which I didn't do very well the first time), you
said it was a RPTV, and I don't know if it even has a degaussing coil -
I know CRT TV's have degaussing coils. In older sets, there was a
button somewhere to momentarily activate it, but newer CRT TV designs
activated the degaussing coil automagically every time the set was
turned on, saving them the cost of one entire push button, and saving
the hearts of many people that had the curiosity to ask 'what's this
button for' and the guts to actually push it. On my old set, after the
coil circuit went tits up, the screen center was green, outside that it
was orange (odd), outside that it was blue - a virtual kaleidescope of a
low-def color TV - auspiciously like being on acid. Again. Scary, that.
I hope it's a lamp too.
