However, after re-soldering a couple of dry joints, and making the appropriate adjustments as set out by Billy T, godfather and others on this forum it’s working almost 100%. I guess I’m being a bit pedantic, but I can’t get rid of a small bow in the bottom edge, about 1mm, up in the middle or down in the corners. Top and sides spot on. Any suggestions anyone? (Would I be looking for one of those stick on magnetic strips?) Cheers Bob	B.M. (505)

Come to think of it even back in the 60’s pincushion magnets only adjusted the sides. Now, why the hell was that? Hmmmm again, I’ll pull out my old book “Grobb on Television” interesting how some things never change despite politics. Thanks Phoenix, I wondered about the colours. I caused myself a mischief recently with my magnetic tipped screwdriver. And yes E.ric I believe some of the new monitors can adjust top and bottom but I’m lost for how. Someone tell me ohms law still exists. :p	B.M. (505)
