The '''Tektronix Type 543''' (rack mount '''RM43''') is an all-tube 30 MHz scope [[introduced in 1958]].


543B is a hybrid and vertical delay line have no 6DK6 and LC but 186 ohms delay line.
It takes [[letter-series and 1-series plug-ins]].


*[http://bama.edebris.com/download/tek/543/Tek%20543.pdf Tektronix 543 Manual (PDF)]
It is similar to a [[545]], but without the second, delayed timebase. Instead, it has a range of horizontal magnifiers from ×2 to ×100.


While the 545 has two non-calibrated X-input sensitivities, the 543 has an X input with calibrated deflection sensitivity of 0.1 V/cm, 1 V/cm, or 10 V/cm.

==Internals==
The '''543''' has the same six-stage balanced [[distributed amplifier]] (twelve [[6DK6]] tubes) as the 545,
driving a lumped L/C delay line just before the deflection plates.
Total acceleration voltage on the CRT is 10 kV. The CRT power supply uses five [[5642]] HV tube diodes.
The standard CRT for the 543 is the [[T65]] with P2 [[phosphor]], part number 154-175.
The '''543B''' is a tube/transistor hybrid scope.
The vertical amplifier has a [[6DJ8]] cathode follower stage followed by
two transistor/tube cascode stages with a 186 Ω [[delay line]] in-between.
The standard CRT for the 543B is part number [[154-0478-00]],
also known as the [[T5470]]-31-2.
There is a rackmount version, Type RM543B.
''Question: Does a model 543A exist?'' Yes, but 543A specification  are needed.
