Internals

This oscilloscope contains three main boards. Interface Board, Power Supply (LV) and High Voltage/Deflection Board. The Interface board is behind the plug-in Bays and contains basic trace/circuit to collect the signals from the Plug-ins. Single Beam Aux Board - used to combine vertical signals from both Vertical plug-ins - is mounted behind the Interface board in a slot. Optional "Signals out board" is also mounted behind the interface board - used to buffer output signals to the Co-Ax connectors behind the chassis. HV Deflection board contains the Vertical and Horizontal stages driving CRT, Unblanking and CRT HV Circuit. LV Power supply board mounted at the bottom provides regulated +30, -30, +5 and unregulated +38, -38, +200. CRT heater is powered from main transformer.
