The Tektronix 524 is an oscilloscope that is designed for monitoring television waveforms. It is a monolithic oscilloscope. It has a thermal cutoff.

Interestingly, the 524 appears on page 33 of the 1966 RCA Test Equipment Catalog.

The 524 weighs 61 pounds and uses 500 watts. It uses selenium rectifiers in the low-voltage power supply. It has a total of 4kV CRT beam acceleration, -1.5kV on the cathode and +2.5kV on the anode. It normally came with a 5ABP1 CRT normally (P1 phosphor), but P7 and P11 were also available.

The distributed vertical output amplifier of the 524 is similar but not identical to that of the 514.
