Paul, are you also trying to use the focus coils along with the two pole magnet for getting the grid centered? If not you should, its a combination of both. You have to adjust the focus coil to center the grid of dots then go back and center the bright dot. But now the grid moved adjust to get grid centered then adjust the dot again, keep coint back and forth till you nail the centering. Then work on the other magnets to make the dot round.

Hi Athanasios, I've just been looking at that. I'm using Frankenyokes so theres not the same level of movement compared to the stock yokes.

Been watching Jarmo's solution for frankenyoke raster centering on the FrankenYoke thread with interest.

Damn magnets are a pain in the butt on the Marquee, still, getting there slowy, very slowly. I'm sort of like circling round the problem (forgive the pun) trying to figure out best way to tackle - only way is to wade in and do it but at least I'm understanding whats actually going on now to some extent.

Hello. If you have extra set of old 2-poles, just do it! You will be suprised how easy is raster centering with those magnets. Do one "centering ring" firts and test how you like it.

Hey Jarmo!

How does it work? Do you just spin the ring or do you need to spin it and/or twist the knob?

Also, have a look here for a possible "thinner" solution! https://www.curtpalme.com/forum_archived/viewtopic.php@t=2498.html about 2/3rds down the page.

Thanks

Yep. When rings are nulled there is no raster movement when rotating rings, twisting the knob adjustīs magnetig force that moves raster. Then rotating rings shifts raster..
