I could get a bright raster with the single magnet pulled all the way back to the tube base, which is incorrect positioning. Somebody was kind enough to send me a magnet which looks like two magnets side by side with a bridge in between. I have seen another type that looks single but has kind of a double stack of magnets.

Anyways I can get a raster with both but I have never felt sure about the setup. Some good people here helped out but seeing your set and others with a different looking magnet gives me doubts. I'm funny about the thought of burning a good 10bp4...
Yes, my ion trap has a single magnet, but I don't have any specs or service data for it yet, so I don't know if that is correct or not. Perhaps if anyone else here can chime in as to wether or not that is ok, that would be helpfull.
