Would it be possible to design a new deflection circuit using 2
N-channel MOSFETS as the drivers? I work on amplifers for home and
autos, and I have seen some interesting designs on amps. Bose has an
amp that is a switching type. Its very small in size, but, it runs cool
and creates a lot of signal. Infinity uses a digital switching amp with
mosfet outputs as well. These types of amps have a very low floor noise
and a nice dynamic range. Not that dynamic range is a very important
feature for a deflection circuit. The ability to handle large amounts
of voltage and current with low distortion should be a plus though.
Just my half-a-cents worth.
