I have a CC parts analog board. worked with bad H-STAT.

I will check it and see. If you take your CC apart, there is a big coil of wire that runs around the picture tube, toward the front. has 2 wires comming from it and plugs into the analog board near the AC power input side. This is the degausser. there is a round disc-like thing that is silver and has 2 legs. thats the MOV.

A redneck way to degauss until you fix it, is use a soldering gun. 100 to 200watts is fine. Not an iron, a gun. you pull the trigger type gun. It has a large transformer inside which generates magnetic fields. Ive used these guns to demag CRTs before. hold the gun up to the CRT, pull the triger and watch the colors vibrate/change. Slowly move the gun around the face of the CRT and then pull it away from the CRT. once its far enough away, let go of the trigger.
