It was announced in 1949 and [[introduced in 1950]].   
The Type 513 was announced in 1949 and [[introduced in 1950]].

weighing 60 pounds, with a low frequency cutoff of 5 Hz.   
As delivered to customers in 1950, the 513 weighed an extra 15 pounds, but had flat response down to DC and cost a bit less: $1650 with the delay line or $1600 without.

==CRT==
==Internals==
It used a [[5XP]] CRT initially, and then switched to a Tek-made CRT.
===Vertical Signal Path===
The input impedance is 1 MΩ in parallel with 40 pF.


[[Stan Griffiths]] says,
The scope provides power to an optional cathode-follower probe.
<blockquote>
"The 513D used two different CRT types, depending on instrument serial
number. From serial number 101-1887, the 5XP2 was used (Tek Part Number
154-066). From serial number 1888-up, the [[T51P2]] was used (Tek pn 154-081).
This one was made by Tek and you could retrofit it into the early 513Ds that
came with the Dumont 5XP but it required a modification kit (040-0094-00).
I have the instructions if you need them. Later, the 154-081 (also known as
[[154-0081-00]]) was replaced by the 154-0342-00 which is quite common and also
used in the 530 series of scopes. If your 513D serial number is below 1888,
the mod kit will have to be installed if you want to use this tube. I did
not look at the mod instructions in detail, but often, with the
instructions, you can put your own kit together and modify the scope just
fine."

When purchased with the delay line, the 513 is a 513D.
The delay line is single-ended, implemented using 40 L-C stages.
 
====Phase Splitter====
Following the delay, a phase splitter produces two outputs,
one inverted, one not inverted.
These drive the distibuted vertical output amplifier.


====Distributed Vertical Output Amplifier====

drives the other vertical deflection plate.
