That's what I already mentioned in my message from June 26:

"We discovered that the internal quadrature VCO of some A-126 does not start
now and then if the corresponding control is in the fully CCM position
during power on (i.e. lowest shifting frequency ~ 50Hz). But it should start
as soon as the
frequency control is turned clockwise. We believe that it has to do with the
power on details, i.e. how fast and in which sequence the +12V and -12V turn
on which in turn has to do which power supply is used and which modules are
installed."
