RE: Degaussing vinyl: Anyone make a wire loop type of homemade degausser for thier Lps?

Most any old color CRT TV has the coil loop around the outer
perimeter of the CRT. I've taken them out before taking to
a recycler, they work well. If too big, just twist and
double the loops. They are normally energized at turn on and
only for a couple seconds. I've never made one, but I think
they used just 2-4 loops in the coil. Not sure on voltage
used, so I'd use a variac to start.

Or you can get one of those hand-held tape erasers for
under $20.
