Had one of those 9-inch Toshibas, but the screen went a uniform shade of
blue. Service tech told me it was a catastrophic CRT failure, so the set did not
get out of the shop alive.
Regarding the instant-on feature, we once had a 1975 Toshiba (15-inch or so)
that had the 'Econowatt' capability, allowing you to turn off the CRT heater by
rotating the volume control CCW. A 1977 set (still in service!) also has the
same feature. I guess this was left out in this small 1976 model to save on
the power switch size.
