Magnet Vs Old CRT TVs

Something reminded me of one time when we discovered how cool a magnet manipulated the old CRT screens when we still had them. As kids, we didn't know it could cause damage, and we may have gotten in a little trouble. Luckily, the TV got degaussed after being off for a while.
