Re: "Clay Cowgill's" pincushion corrector

Yeah my HV is 100% OK. I had to replace the dead-red (of course) with
a Cinelabs HVT and so I did the HV adjusting. It's 19,5kV (If my HV
tester is correct). Could give it a 2nd check though....you never know.

The yoke is still in it's factory position and convergence is almost
perfect.. As mentioned, this baby has been "untouched" ever since it
left Ireland (that is, not repaired or anything replaced).

Been working on my Belgian friend Luc's cockpit today (which he
imported from the US) and it shows the same problem but to less
extend. I also get a white vertical line on the left side when the
enemy hits me, something I can't adjust away. (This one is running a
WG6100, so I'm blaming that).

Let me know as soon as the Rev.4's are ready. I'm pretty sure I will
need at least two, probably more.

Thanks !
