That's a myth that I've seen proven untrue countless times.

excellant, thank you very much. Ill have a look to see if I can locate
the coil in question. Im sure Ill have many more questions in the
future...ill let you know what I find.

I'd be inclined to try sheets of aluminium - say 4 ft x 4 ft sections of
20#. They aren't expensive and might help as the eddy currents tend to
reduce the magnetic effects. Other methods become more difficult to use - or
pay for.
BTW, a different monitor might work better.

Untrue. The eddy currents buck the magnetic field - imperfectly, but at a
much lower cost than mumetal. A sandwich of alternate layers of aluminum and
steel would probably work better, but the OP wanted cheap and easy things to
try.

ok...ive noticed another thing about the TV that i didnt notice before.
There are interferance lines in the picture that are linked to the
audio of that scene. I didnt npcie it beofre casue i routed my audio
from my DVD through my reciever, but when i hooked it back up i figured
id see if there was any audio inerferance, and there was. Is this still
a symptom of this coil being mis-adjusted?

I remember those too. I used to adjust them and I seem to remember
blue and red coil forms. Take an alignment tool to the one marked disc
first. I don't remember if there was a top and bottom (primary and
secondary) to this coil. If so your tool will have to be able to slide
in to the top make that adjustment and then slide down to the bottom
section. Put a piece of tape on the tool like a flag. Note the position
of the flag before turning the tool so that you can return it to its
starting position if the adjustment does not change the audio. As I
recall just a slight twist was all it took to clear it up. Anything
related to "disc or 4.5mhz) is in the right neighborhood. Good luck,

Did someone attempt to put System X in this machine? But then it should
power up but no video as here:

These guys put an ATX power supply in one:

This is from the iMac diagnostic:
"In a No Power situation, first check for +5 V trickle power at J9
(refer to Testing J9 for +5 V Trickle Power on the Logic
Board), then check the DCO (Down Converter On) voltage on the
logic board at capacitor C10 (see figure below)"

thanks, ill do that this week. Will adjusting these coils help with the
audio interfering with the picture? also how do i adjust the level that
the color cuts off at. Just over the last month the color cuts off when
viewing VHS tapes, TV and DVD are fine...
Any ideas?
Thanks so much for the help so far guys!!

If it is a posistor and is in series with the degauss coil, bypassing it
will leave the coil running continuously. This is NOT a good thing. You

After you see Jethro stick his tongue in the electric lamp socket (to show
