Internals

The 221 has a switching power supply and built-in rechargeable batteries (which are a maintenance issue). It has a transformer-coupled trigger circuit which would seem to preclude DC level-based triggering. The trigger circuit uses a 1N3713 1 mA tunnel diode. The vertical output amplifier that drives the CRT plates is two opamps made from discrete transistors. One drives the top deflection plate, the other the bottom plate.

The power supply in the 221 uses three transformers.120-0876-00 (T633) in the line inverter, 120-0877-00/120-0946-00 (T623) in the base drive for the line inverter and 120-0875-00 (T701) in HV inverter.

The 221 contains one integrated circuit, a 741 opamp that creates a virtual ground, otherwise only discrete (including dual) transistors.

MOD 290A is a version of the 221 made for IBM, which adds a Single Sweep function, and a "Property of IBM" engraving.
