Monitor deflection magnets; what to do when one falls out & breaks?

   These are cylindrical, low-gauss ferrite magnets called 'trimming
magnets' or 'pincushion magnets'. A lot of cheaper CRT devices use 'em to
tweak the display. They're a pain in the butt, especially the ones near
the front of the CRT that gradually get demagnetized with each power-on
degauss cycle.

   They are sometimes available at larger 'real' hardware stores (in the
US) like True Value, etc.

   Or, as was wisely suggested, cannibalize them from another junk tube.
