I was wondering if this sort of thing could be done since I saw the link to a coil on eBay.

I think a momentary switch would be a good addition to this one.

I agree. It would probably be best to tape wrap it onto the coil so you can hold it with the coil.

Agree wholeheartedly. Also it's important to mention - be sure the coil's at least 6' away from the set before energizing the coil, then move in slowly and do the degaussing, then move it back at least 6' before de-energizing it. Otherwise you can end up 'gaussing' the jug instead of degaussing it.
