The '''Tektronix 7503''' is a 100 MHz 7000-series mainframe with 3 module bays.
The 7503 project managed by [[Phil Crosby]], and was supposed to be a [[7504]] but with one fewer plug-in.
The 7503 was Tek's first scope to use a [[harmonica connector]] for inter-board wiring.
Prior to this, inter-board wiring had either mainly been point-to-point soldered.
Other approaches were taken on certain instruments, for example the [[7704]],
in which pins sticking out of the chassis mate with holes in the boards that receive the pins and make electrical contact.
