The '''Tektronix Type 360''' is the "indicator unit" of the [[160|160 series modular scope system]].
It contains a [[3WP]] CRT ([[T3100]] for SN > 25767), vertical amplifier, horizontal amplifier, and HV CRT circuit.   
It does not contain the low-voltage power supply, which is a separate component in the 160 system.   


The vertical signal path is a switched compensated attenuator, followed by
