Mod 709V appears to be an adaptation of [[5110]] scopes for radial vibration display made by Tektronix in Beaverton for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bently_Nevada Bently Nevada] and possibly others.

Externally evident elements of the modification touch several components:
* Mainframe:
** Graticule illumination added with Tektronix control knob
** Intensity input BNC changed to yellow binding post
** Bently Nevada name & logo on the two noted examples
* 5B10N:
** External input BNC changed to green binding post
** "Display" color key area expanded to include what appears to be a three-way switch with positions
*** Normal
*** L vs R <unintelligible>
*** L vs R
** Cal control deleted
* 5A19N (two):
** Inverting input red binding posts changed to light blue
** Cal control deleted

Example scope serial numbers:
* B1217xx
* B1303yy

== Case ==

Both noted examples include a robust travel case, but the cases differ.

Details for that device appear consistent with Mod 709V.

<blockquote>
'''5110 MOD 709V'''

<blockquote>
'''DESCRIPTION'''

This manual describes MOD 709V as it applies to the TEKTRONIX 5110 Single Beam Oscilloscope.  MOD 709V adds a new circuit board for X-Y operation using Right Vertical versus Left Vertical. 
Using a TEKTRONIX 5B10N MOD 709V Time Base plug-in unit, the SECONDS/DIV or VOLTS/DIV switch is turned to the L versus R position actuating a switching relay mounted in the mainframe. 
This bypasses the normal sweep function of the 5B10N, allowing for a Left Vertical versus Right Vertical X-Y display. 
The display unit portion of the 5110 is supplied with an illuminated graticule with a special implosion shield, and an AC coupled EXT INTENSITY INPUT via a yellow binding post at the front panel.

'''BANDWIDTH'''

Maximum horizontal deflection bandwidth (using a 5A15N or 5A18N amplifier) is reduced by approximately 300 kHz by the added wiring. Bandwidth (−3 dB) for X-axis deflection from either the center or right compartment is 1.7 MHz minimum. 
The Y-axis specification is unchanged.

'''CALIBRATION'''

Check the interconnecting wiring to the added  X-Y circuit board, then calibrate MOD 709V according to the procedure in the 5110 Instruction Manual.
</blockquote>

'''5A19N MOD 709V'''

<blockquote>
'''DESCRIPTION'''

This manual insert describes the features of MOD 709V as installed in the 5A19N Differential Amplifier. 
The Signal Input connector has been changed to a blue binding post for the Minus Input. The Variable VOLTS/DIV control labeled CAL has been removed. 
A +15 Volts offset, regardless of the VOLTS/DIV control setting has been added.

'''CALIBRATION'''

Calibrate the same as standard with the following additions regarding offset.

Check OFFSET for ±15 volts in all Volts/Div positions.

1. Ground amplifier inputs and set display in center screen with 
     OFFSET in OFF position, and Volts/Div in .5 Volt/Div position.

2. Turn OFFSET to ON position and position trace 1 cm above center
    screen.  Plus  .5 volts OFFSET.

3. Change Volts/Div to .2 position. Trace should now be 2-1/2 cm 
    above center screen.  If trace shifts toward center screen instead, 
    offset strap on board is in wrong position.   Strap should be in 
    position #2.
</blockquote>

'''5B10N MOD 709V'''
<blockquote>
'''DESCRIPTION'''

This manual insert describes the features of MOD 709V as installed in the 5B10N Time Base Amplifier. 
It removes the VAR control, changes the BNC EXT INPUT connector to a green binding post and provides a switching mode for Left Vertical vs Right Vertical, The last ccw position of the SECONDS/DIV or VOLTS/DIV (EXT) switch is now labeled L vs R.


'''CALIBRATION'''

Calibrate this instrument the same as standard except as follows:

1. Variable TIME/DIV is deleted - no checks required.

2. Fully ccw position of TIME/DIV switch used to be EXT INPUT .5 VOLTS
    PER DIV. This feature is deleted and is now marked L vs R (left vertical versus
    right vertical). In this position check to see that -30 volts is present at
    contact A-12 of interface connector. Voltage should not appear at A-12 in any
    other position of timing switch.
</blockquote>
</blockquote>

The 5B10N rotary switch position described in the manual insert differs from the separate switch apparent in the examples.
