The vertical scale is only 4 divisions, 2 above and 2 below the graticule center line.  The lower bandwidth 531 and 535 retained the 6 vertical divisions, as used in most other Tektronix scopes.

Shorting the outputs of the vertical amplifier to ground can cause major damage.
Shorting the outputs of the vertical amplifier to ground can cause major damage by burning out the delay line.
In the 545A, there is a 150 mA fuse, F1054, preventing such damage.
In the 545A starting at serial number 29960, there is a 150 mA fuse, F1054, preventing that failure.
