The Mod210C replaced the T5610 ceramic CRT with the T5032 glass CRT and an external graticule. The graticule illumination was changed to red and the BNC connectors of the scope and plugins were replaced with UHF connectors. The graticule has an engraved sinewave. A green light filter was added between the CRT and the graticule. | The Mod210C replaced the T5610 ceramic CRT with the T5032 glass CRT and an external graticule.
