Russ , I leave the set on. Put the Degaussing coil in front of the tube and energize the coil . Move the coil in a circular motion in front and around cabinet sides, bring the coil around front again moving it away from the tube as you go. I then turn off the coil and abruptly turn the coil perpendicular to the set . That's it, works good unless set has been dropped. If the set has been dropped or hit by lightning may take a lot more work. Repeat the procedure. Some times the degaussing circuit malfunctions and you have to repair.
