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 has a total of 4kV CRT beam acceleration, -1.5kV on the cathode and +2.5kV on the anode. It uses 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.
