What support (e.g., documents) do we have for the sentence, "531s with below S/N 7950 have DuMont 5BGP2 instead of Tektronix T533P2." Did 531s ever ship with DuMont CRTs in them? I can't find any evidence of this. 07:02, 31 May 2020 (PDT)
I removed the sentence about the DuMont CRT. Kurt (talk) 07:25, 17 June 2020 (PDT)
- While waiting for a particularly long OCR to finish (I must get a scanner configured - phone resolution was too much), I had a dig around and found a couple of refs to the idea of a DuMont in the 531 but not the limit of serials.

Dick Rhiger worked with the shop, along with discussions with engineering about plug-in size and shape. As soon as the mechanics and a reliable plug-in connector were figured out, it didn’t take long to put a prototype together, using the 315 sweep and a Dumont CRT.
