A Hitachi 22” CTV with bad purity. Checked the degaussing coil and changed the thermistor - perfect picture. Put it back into the customer’s TV unit and the purity fault returned. Much head scratching ensued until I opened the drawer in the TV unit - massive speaker magnet smashed off on old speaker in there. Bad words were used and the bill reflected my wasted time!
