If I were you I would just make a coil with a bunch of nails and a long piece of thin wire. You can energize it with a transformer, dont use mains voltage. You dont need a super lot of power and indeed, less is more in this situation. You'll likely not need a degausser that often. You dont want to damage the UT210e |

I suspect you meant damage it from something to do with magnetizing the head or degaussing it. Care to explain? As far as what's required, I was using about 600 gauss peak with a half second decay. |

Would an old school hand held tape head demagnetizer do the same trick ? I would assume to switch it on first from a distance, gradually approach the clamp area, give it a slow magic wand job pass or two and back off slowly, then switch it off when far far away, say 2 or 3 meters ? :-// |
