+The '''Tektronix Type O''' is a [[letter-series and 1-series plug-ins|letter-series plug-in]], designed by [[Hiro Moriyasu]], that contains two operational amplifiers and a vertical amplifier.
 It was [[introduced in 1962|introduced in mid-1962]] and was available through 1973.
-The input and feedback networks of the op-amps can be configured from the front panel using knobs and/or user-supplied components.
+The input and feedback networks of the operational amplifiers can be configured from the front panel switches and/or by way of user-supplied components plugged into the front panel banana jacks.
-There are sockets on the front panel for banana plugs.
+Tektronix made several pre-configured plug-in modules to plug directly into those jacks.
+See the ''Accessories'' section below.
+Note that one of the accessories is an empty box with mating banana plugs for a user-designed circuit.
 A mode switch selects the display to be taken from either op-amp's output, or the vertical amplifier input.
