For reasons I don't understand, the forum's server spliced the URL...

click here instead.

Added edit:
Okay... I give up! This server is allergic to this URL... just copy and past it in your browser's address bar...

Unless Long's Electronics would process an international order, I'm sure someone else on this forum would help Wonderboy and d0c (??) out.

There's probably half a million places in the world selling identical or similar devices.

The point was only to show the difference between a crappy demagnetizer and a good one.

Here is a discussion I found in Norwegian and some guy has a hand held demagnetizer for sale, about a month ago.

I also found this Swedish place http://www.svalander.se/vinyl/casdemag.htm , perhaps what they are selling is of good quality but it is expensive.

I bought one from ebay (which I know you don't use).
