This isn't Linux-specific, but I figured I'd try asking here...
I'm looking for a degausser/magnetic tape eraser for erasing mini DV
tapes. I've tried all the local stores (RadioShack, BestBuy, even a
TV/VCR repair shop), as well as Allied Electronics and Digikey, but
none of them seem to sell degaussers. On ebay, I found some cheap
hand-held degaussers for degaussing CRTs (not powerful enough for mini
DV), and some multi-thousand dollar degaussers that can degauss
anything up to and including a neutron star. The closest thing I
could find to what I need is a rare-earth magnet based "Erase-O-Matic"
Model 1 for a mere $400.00.
Any suggestions/recommended vendors would be greatly appreciated.
Also instructions for make-your-own-degauseers would also be welcome.
Thanks!
