Makes
sense.

Makes more sense when you think about the divider chain after the osc., it's a
bunch of flip-flops, and when they are flipped in the state that has the HOT
turned on, but the osc. stops, the current ramps up until the field in the HDT
collapses.

This happens so fast you see nothing.

I had one come in and the OSD was shifted and there was no sound. This was
after replacing the HOT. The crystal was weak I guess and it didn't start on
time, which in a 169 will keep the data from being read out of the EPROM at the
proper time.

Symptom not quite fittting the cause ? How about a greyscale problem on an XBR
where the cure was to adjust the V hieght, or shutdown caused by an open (in
that case unplugged) subwoofer. One wonders what the future holds.
