Default degaussing for compass

Sacramento Sky Ranch used to rent a degausser, or you can buy one at
Radio Shack (it's called a bulk tape eraser).

SOMEWHERE on the net I've seen somebody who rents out equipment to degauss
the area around where the compass goes.

In Cessna 180/185s the compass rests between a steel "V" brace and this
sometimes gets a magnetic set, or something. Does anyone remember who rents
out that equipment?
