Yep definitely seems like it's not doing it's thang... from memory I can't ever recall hearing the degaussing "thunk" when powering this CC on, yet all my 5xx-series and the other CC do it, and all are free of screen anomolies. Where would I be looking for the componentry of which you speak? Presumably the degausse coil is the thick thing around the screen that connects by a two-pin plug onto the A-board?
Unrelated to that specific issue, I now have one fully functioning Color Classic (the grubby looking one) after switching the 160Mb drive out of the SE and doing a whooooooole lot of stuffing around to the point where I ended up making a universal boot floppy copied from my OEM LCIII disks and a bunch of enablers off my personal info.apple dump, plugged the drive into the IIvx and booted off a floppy to copy the 402 enabler to the 7.1 install on the hard disk destined for the Color Classic... the IIvx was proably an unneccesry step in the process except that I thought the CC's floppy drive was dead, until I worked out that it was actually my first boot floppy that was a dud when it failed to boot the IIvx as well.
Anyway, long story short it now works and boots off a HDD fine, floppy works fine, and I am about to give it a thorough cleanup now.
The cleaner of the CC's is partly in pieces until I find another HDD for it and clean the gargantuan amounts of dust out of the FDD and off the A-board.
