Can I Degauss my vinyl ?

Some people use the Walker Talisman to demagnetize their records. Can I use a 110 V electric degausser used on televisions to do the same? the cost for one of these is $20 as compared to the Walker @ $250.00+

Follow the same instructions as used on a picture tube. The movement toward and away is the big thing... And do it on both sides? (not certain if needed on both sides) ALL $$$$ Audiophile tweaks have cheap substitutes.. at least OMO!!!

Static electricity can be a problem, but I fail to see how a record becomes magnetized. Sounds like voodoo to me!!
