Hello again Neil,
At least you have got something on the screen. I suspect that the first anode pots have been 'twiddled'.
They are on the convergence board and should be set to give a good black and white picture with the colour turned down and the brightness turned about two thirds on.
That's a start anyway.

Another thread regarding a faulty MC1327 I/C in the Bradford surprised me. I have never replaced one of these but it could cause your symptoms but very unlikely.

If you fancy a trip along the M4 I would be more than willing to sort it out, FOC of course!

Regards John.
