The Tektronix 7A26 is a 200 MHz dual-trace vertical plug-in for 7000-series scopes. Designed by Tom Rousseau, it was the most successful 7000 series plug-in, with over 120,000 units produced.
The 75 MHz 7A18 and 400 MHz 7A24 share the same front panel layout and operation.

Internals
Controls layout and internal construction is very similar to the 75 MHz 7A18. Whereas the 7A18 is a discrete design, the 7A26 uses Tek-made differential amplifier ICs 155-0078-xx.
The 7A26 does not use the ±50 V supplies provided by the mainframe.
