That could be useful if you ever tried to find a cheap service degauss coil today ,then you know

For my #1 TV I use a retina searing 2016 4K HDR 1000+ 1474 NIT 7000:1 contrast panel code binned SUHD QDOT Samsung UN 55 KS 8000 LCD in my inner groove and a tamer 2015 Sony Triluminos 4K HDR LCD in the family cinema room and 1080p LCD around the home .

I benched TV's & radios part time from 1967-1970 at a Magnavox AD and studied electronics concurrently (3 yrs) but an unrelated career that retired me well with surplus $$$ and so on.

No hobby CRT here but I can't say I wouldent mind a bonded safety glass color roundie out back .I had a used 21" RCA round delta gun with a newer RCA colortron CRT in the early 70's and it wasn't bad until the PCB's started crumbing fatally

ON topic
That said I've used a Weller soldering gun sideways ,then walked back like a conventional decausss coil on a late model philips CRT to take a large purple /green spot out of the screen from a magnetized shadow mask for a friend's secondary TV from unshielded speakers too close and it worked
