Frame scan 
During frame flyback transistors T52 and T50 are turned on. This causes the transistors TR1 and 
TR2 to turn on and eventually saturate. 
During frame scan, the transistors T52 and T50 turn off and the collectors of TR1 and TR2 rise 
linearly towards their respective 300V HTs. Their scan amplitudes are dictated by the rate at which 
the 470pF capacitors are charged. This current is due to the 1.2V across TR1 and TR2 V
