^^That^^ If you solder the degauss thermister back together, use medium heat. Too hot and it'll crack, too cool and the iron will need too much contact time. Either way it will split.

Off topic follows!:
Oh boy, you reminded me of a story of a Sony 36" that had been bumped a bit too hard. It came in for off colors in blotches and manual degaussing didn't help, so we were dealing with a warped shadow mask. RCA actually had part numbers for that magnetic tape so I had ordered a couple of bags of them to keep in the shop for tweaking mostly Sonys, which tended to be a bit off anyway, particularly the big tubes.
So I found that with about 8 of these stick on magnets affixed to the Sony tube in various locations, I got pretty good purity - although the geometry was ginked a bit as a result of too many magnets. It actually looked very good in the mirror but when I spun the TV around on the service cart, it was as bad as before. Uh oh Andy. It was now very sensitive to compass direction.
I had the customer use a compass to determine which way the face of the tube was pointing at home, and I redid the magnets again with the TV facing the same compass direction. Wasn't perfect but the guy was happy. Back then, a big Sony CRT was huge bucks.
