Many sets I've seen with it, contain a 'staggered daughterboard' right behind the video output board on the tube. On some Toshibas from the early 00s, I would cut the feedback wire from this board, as it wasn't even defeatable via service mode. I am not sure which sets were the first to use a scanning velocity controller. If I had to guess, I bet Sony was the first. Anyone know for sure?
I was at a seminar when it was introed but dont remember who !
I think it was Sylvania ?
