 If you look at the '800 schematic, you will notice a reversed-biased diode
 on the base of the first transistor (generates the NO GATE signal). What's
 it there for?.....Hmmm.....  :)

paul,
having neither an 800 eg or a schematic, my guess would be that it would 
provide, if provided with a jack on the panel, a gate / trigger when the 
normal gate turns off. if tapped, maybe suitable for use recycling or 
triggering eg`s in series - ?
best,
