The Tektronix 514 is a monolithic general-purpose oscilloscope introduced in 1949 or 1950.

It was designed by Tektronix engineers Bob Davis and Dick Rhiger.

Using a three-section distributed amplifier, it provides frequency response from DC to 10 MHz. Prior to the 514, customers had to choose between an instrument with 5 Hz to 10 MHz bandwidth (the 511) or an instrument with DC–2 MHz response (the 512). The 514 provides DC response and 10 MHz bandwidth.

Throughout its production run, a 'D' variant was available (514D, with the 'D' being stamped in by hand on some models), which has a 24-section 250 ns lumped L-C delay line. There was also an 'A' version (514-A & 514-AD respectively), which appears to have been available in 1954. (There were also some models marked 'Series A', which may have been a predecessor to the 514A? How does the 514AD differ from the 514D?)

It has no thermal cutoff.

Key Specifications

Frequency response DC to 10 MHz
Input impedance 1 MΩ // 30 pF
Vertical deflection 100 V/cm down to 300 mV/cm (DC) / 30 mV/cm (AC), 1–3–10 sequence
Weight 28.1 kg (62 pounds)
Power consumption 375 W

Internals

The 514 uses a 5CPA CRT with a total accelerating voltage of 3 kV (−1.5 kV on the CRT cathode and +1.5 kV on the CRT anode). The standard phosphor for a 514 was P1. The deflection sensitivity of the CRT is approximately 27 V/cm vertical and 32 V/cm horizontal.

The power supply is regulated based on a −140 V reference produced by an OD3 gas regulator tube. The +225 V supply uses three 5V4G rectifier tubes in parallel.
