The 160, 161, 162, and 163 use the ceramic strip and silver solder construction style that | |||
is prevalent in other Tektronix equipment of the era, such as the 500-series scopes like the [[545]]. | |||
The Type 360 indicator unit contains the CRT HV power supply and the vertical amplifier | |||
and is constructed using a single-sided printed circuit board. | |||
