A replacement for [[D|Type D]], it senses down to 1 mV/div at 2 MHz bandwidth, with 10,000-to-1 common-mode rejection to 100kHz and +/-15V common-mode range.

Type 1A6 was [[introduced in 1967]] and dropped after 1973.

Not as many units were sold as the more sensitive Type [[1A7]] or the faster Type [[1A5]].

The 1A6 was designed by technician [[Vaughn Weidel]], based on Type [[1A7]].  The input stage is a matched pair of [[8393]] [[Nuvistor|Nuvistors]], and the front panel is styled like Type [[1A5]]. Unlike Types [[W]] and [[1A7]], Type 1A6 was never converted to FET input.
