The 517 uses 24kV of acceleration voltage on the CRT.  This is generated by the Type 420 High Voltage
There is a trigger amplifier in the 517 which can its input from
an external source, or
from the trigger pickoff in the vertical pre-amp, or
from the internal rate generator circuit. 
The trigger amplifier circuit has
five stages:
 
* Phase Splitter: [[6J6]] dual-triode connected as a differential amplifier
* Gain Stage 1: single-ended, three sections, distributed, [[6AK5]] pentodes
* Gain Stage 2: single-ended, three sections, distributed, [[6AK5]] pentodes
* Gain Stage 3: single-ended, common-cathode, [[6AG7]] pentode
* Gain Stage 4: single-ended, common-cathode, [[6AG7]] pentode
 
The 517 uses 24kV total acceleration voltage on the CRT.  This is generated by the Type 420 High Voltage
Power Supply subsystem in the 517.  It uses a 1.8kHz oscillator to produce the high voltage, unlike
