There was also the 530, 540 and 550 in this range of machines, however whether they had text or not I cannot recall for sure but I suspect they did

Yes - those look like the thing! I'm not sure which exact model we had, but the photos of the innards of the 510 certainly look very familiar. Thank you
Now, I can't grab the service manual from Elektrotanya until tomorrow, but I'm hoping that this did output RGB from the teletext character generator - it would make sense, as the complicated user interface came from this. As mentioned, we didn't have anything with Scart, so we used it via the modulator - so at the very least it contained a PAL encoder - and if it did output RGB, it would need a PAL decoder (or use pin 16 to put the TV back into composite mode).
Thanks again,
