The Tektronix 310 is a compact portable oscilloscope with a 3" (7.5cm) round CRT.

It is a 4MHz single-trace, single-timebase scope.

It is a tube scope and uses 175 watts, but does not have a fan.

It has a 165 degree Fahrenheit thermal cutoff switch in series with

the primary of the power transformer.

For extended use in one place, a tilted fan base,

part number 016-012, was available.

The 310 is hinged at the rear, allowing reasonably convenient access to the circuitry despite the fact that the components are packed more densely than in other Tektronix scopes of the era. There is also a revised version, the 310A. The 310 uses printed-circuit boards but the 310A

returned to ceramic strip construction.

Is this the only time that a Tek design was moved from PCB back to ceramic strip?
