Abstract: In a top-bottom pincushion correction circuit having a saturable reactor with a control winding coupled to a source of deflection current at a horizontal scan frequency and an output winding coupled to a source of deflection current at a vertical scan frequency, a means coupled to the control winding unbalances the waveform applied thereto from the source of deflection current at a vertical scan frequency to provide asymmetric top-bottom pincushion correction.
