You can use the degauss coil from a junk TV and wire an AC cord on - but like previously mentioned it'll melt and heat up real quick. What you need to do is get two or three junk degauss coils, and coil them up together so they're about six or seven inches in diameter, and wire them in series. And look for bigger sets to salvage - like 27 inchers, they'll have larger coils. Wire the coils in series and put a momentary push buton in there (one that's rated for 120v and lots of current), and wrap the whole mess in tape.
