Hi Peter,

Just a little diversion, a while back you mentioned problems setting up the picture, centreing it and getting the ion trap set right, could it be the ion trap magnet isn’t as strong as it used to be? I had one once in a set, I forget which one it was now, where no matter what I did the picture was cut off in one corner, and a bit darker to one side, I also had to have it close to the base of the crt for it to work, I re-magnetised it with a big magnet and was then able to set the ion trap further up the neck, and cured the cut off corner too.

Regards
Lloyd
