Hantarex 900 monitor focus issue

[level42]

I would buy that one right away. Made in Germany, can't be worse than made in China.

Plus it also has a clear warning that is valid for ALL degaussers:

(Ully, please note ! ):

Yes, go for it !

as i see this , i can imagine this will degauss harddrives, floppy's and tapes also

Yeah, looks like a strong beast, already bought it on a reduced price, stay tuned....

Yes that's what I thought too, definitely keep that stuff FAR from it when in use

Good to know, thanks for the info, I guess I wouldn't have to use it on my Pole Position 2 mame cab then.

This triggered my curiosity..

So i did a field test on a Floppy

Its a bit blurry, sorry for that, but the result is clearly visible i think

LOL !

Didn't your rings started heating up your fingers ?

Also, I'm really not that surprised. We used to do back-up of programmings of fire alarms on floppies and put them in the fire-alarm centrals.  Very very many failed after a year or two.

Actually, I have a good number of 5.25" floppies from the mid 80's that STILL are ok.
I think there are two causes:
1) the last 3.5" floppies were complete rubbish quality
2) the 5.25" had much wider tracks, and much less data to hold which makes it a bit easier for them

We switched to CD's but not much later we started to back-up through FTP on a server at the company because we now all have internet on our laptops....

Anyway, the 3.5" floppy.....it's already a thing of the past....I still remember people complaining that floppy drives were removed from Macs.....mmmmm

Only stupid old OS-es still needs floppies sometimes

That beast is laying in my car's floor atm., it's extremly heavy, I will try it out in the evening and inform you about the results asap.Unfortunately I can't open youtube links in my office, but I have ideas what happened with that floppy.

[Etienne MacGyver]

Don't forget to film and protect yourself while testing this beast.

Not to see how strong you are by lifting this thing, but i want to see your protective hat  

[Belike]

Wow, this equipment has a very strong effect, I placed it 1 meter far from the monitor, facing the opposite direction and the screen started to shake.
Take a look at it's weight:

Before and after pic:

And a very bad quality video, it was hard to hold that equipment and the camera at the same time, but you can see in the very end, that the the screen became perfect after a few seconds of degaussing

Thanks to all of you, who helped me out in this.

[level42]

Wow, that's a BEAST ! Be careful indeed

[Belike]

Wow, that's a BEAST ! Be careful indeed

Thanks for the warning André, to be honest I was really scared when I used that thing and I will take extreme caution in the future also.

[Etienne MacGyver]

Always use the "ALU-HAT" when degaussing with this SOB

Lol, is it really helps staying alive or it's just a joke?

[level42]

Depends on your local earth magnetism Belike...not sure how it is there in Hungary, but here it helps....
