The Tektronix 7503 is a 90 MHz 7000-series mainframe with three module bays, introduced in 1970. It was effectively replaced by the larger-screen 7603 in 1972.
The 7503 project was managed by Phil Crosby, and was supposed to be a 7504 but with one fewer plug-in. The 7503 was Tek's first scope to use a harmonica connector for inter-board wiring. Prior to this, inter-board wiring had either mainly been point-to-point soldered. Other approaches were taken on certain instruments, for example the 7704, in which pins sticking out of the chassis mate with holes in the boards that receive the pins and make electrical contact.

Internals
Like other 75xx and 76xx mainframes and the 7504, the 7503 has a linear power supply, as opposed to the switchmode supplies used in the later 4-slot mainframes. In addition to the +5 V, ±15 V, ±50 V rails common to the 7000 series, internally (not on the plug-in slots) it has a +75 V output not found in later models, and a +150 V instead of the later +130 V.
