I would like to say there's a third, but this may be viewed as a modification of #2 above. It's in V35 #4, also recently brought up here...scroll down to near the bottom of the page...

If the source is precise in it's timing then a simple monostable arrangement triggered on every sync pulse to produce a sync pulse 2.5ms later, then OR-gated with the original...you have continuous 400Hz. But mechanical sources, although doing an amazing job, are not quite precise enough.
I too wish that the missing pulse method was never instigated, but under the circumstance when it was introduced many years ago, there was little else to choose from.

Gary, as an afterthought, you've mentioned that you've done some form of TBC for NBTV. Did it get published or is it still in the works?
