The Tektronix Type O is a letter-series plug-in, designed by Hiro Moriyasu, that contains two op-amps and a vertical amplifier.

It was introduced in mid-1962 and was available through 1973.

The input and feedback networks of the op-amps can be configured from the front panel using knobs and/or user-supplied components. There are sockets on the front panel for banana plugs.

A mode switch selects the display to be taken from either op-amp's output, or the vertical amplifier input.

Internals

The opamps are implemented using two 12AU6 as a differential pair followed by two systems of a 6DJ8 as a bootstrapped cathode follower.

The vertical amplifier also starts with a 12AU6 differential pair, which is followed by a pair of 2N1143 200 MHz transistors.
