The Tektronix 2A60 is an single-channel amplifier plug-in for 560-series scopes. It was designated the "Type 60" before being renamed 2A60 at serial number 820. It has a bandwidth of 1MHz. The input signal passes through a compensated attenuator and the into the input amplifier, differential amplifier formed from two 6AU6 pentodes. The differential signal is then applied to a cathode-follower stage which drives the output stage. The output stage is a differential amplifier formed from both halves of a 6DJ8 dual-triode. To help linearize the output stage when it is making large positive or negative excursions, a pair of germanium diodes is placed in parallel with the resistor that connects the cathodes of output triodes. The effect is that when the signal swings far in either direction, the gain degeneration (negative feedback) is reduced. This helps keep gain stable across the range of signal voltages.
