Hi Nick.

Here are some pictures, test card and scan coils as requested.

I know the rest card is squished, I am not worried about that, the only test card I have access to is with a freeview box. The trouble is, the one box I have has only options for 16:9 or letterbox 4:3.
The freeview box I intend to use with this set has option for 4:3 pan and scan so keeping the aspect ratio correct and loosing the edges, but this box does not support red button services so I can’t get a test card with it.
This was as good as I can get after having another play last night. The scan coils are as far forward as they will go, I could not find any permanent magnets to adjust.
