Very early versions of the T221 did have a scan coil problem David. They are usually incredibly reliable and I find it odd that they should fail now. Has the chassis been played around with? If so you will have to start from scratch and check literally everything. You may have an incorrect connection somewhere or maybe someone has mixed up the scan coil connections but why they would do this with any Ekco is beyond me.
I have a T283 that uses the same scan coils. It's been hanging around for years with bits missing and you are more than welcome to the scan coils if yours are definitely faulty/shorting. John.
