The only source I know of for magnetic core inductors is a custom shop that will wind them for you, but they cost way more than the TV would ever be worth.

Not to mention that I guess at this point I can't even be sure that the coil is at fault. I'm just guess about it losing it's magnetism. In all other ways, the coil appears to be fine from the outside, so other than demagnetizing over time (which I don't even know if that could happen), I don't really have much to go on with it.

If you know of some way I could cheaply buy a replacement (ideally something adjustable) that I could try out, that would be great.

Or if there's any other obvious things to try of course.
