In deflection circuits I designed the FBT had a bleeder resistor, to
improve regulation and discharge the CRT.




Yeah, but the bleeders were such high resistance the HV usually destroyed
them within a short time. They were just open spark gaps after that...(c;

Huh? The bleeders were 200M ohm in a monochrome display, and no, they did
not destroy themselves within a short time. The resistors are made with
carbon ink deposited on a ceramic substrate. The resistor is potted within
the FBT. Never had one fail and I'm sure they are still working just fine
20 plus years later.
