This ad-hock degauss coil may only last 1-5 minutes of 120Vac at a time before overheating so keep an eye on the temp and work fast if you use this method. I made a backup coil that way, and it works decently.

I saw a lot of them made of aluminum wire. Doesn't really make any difference, just an observation of mine. It probably takes a few more turns to produce the same amount of flux.
Maybe taking a 60 or 100 watt lamp and connecting it in series would produce enough magnetic flux to be effective, without burning up.
