The Tektronix Type M is a four-channel plug-in for 500-series scopes that was introduced in 1962, along with the Type O, and dropped after 1972. It was designed by Oz Svehaug and Glenn Parks.

Early versions had UHF connectors, later versions have BNC connectors for the inputs.

Key Specifications

Bandwidth DC to 20 MHz
Rise time 17 ns
Deflection 20 mV/div to 10 V/div, 1–2–5
Modes Each channel can be AC or DC coupled, inverted or straight, or disabled entirely. The enabled channels can operate in CHOP or ALT mode.

Internals

Each input goes through a step attenuator, is clamped by a neon bulb, and then is fed to the grid of a cathode follower made with a 7586 Nuvistor tube. Next, the signal goes to a PNP differential amplifier. Diodes in series with the collector signal of this differential amplifier are used for input channel switching. An internal differential signal bus connects the switched outputs of each of the input channels and feeds the signal to the output amplifier, which drives pins 1 and 3 of the 500-series plug-in connector. The output amplifier is two 12AU6 pentodes connected as a differential amplifier, followed by a 12AT7 dual triode acting as a cathode follower to drive the output with a relatively low impedance.
