The signal passes through rotary cam-operated input attenuators, then a JFET source-follower buffer
The signal passes through rotary cam-operated input attenuators, then passes through an input amplifier
that is on a separate small board.  The input amplifier contains a JFET source-follower buffer
that uses a [[2N5911|2N5911A]] (Tektronix part number 151-1032-00) biased with a drain current of 12.5mA

and Vgs of -0.26V.   
and Vgs of -0.26V.  The input amplifier has unity gain, high input impedance, and an output impedance of
about 120 ohms.  The input amplifier drives a Tek-made differential amplifier chip, part number [[155-0050-01]].
