It takes [[letter-series and 1-series plug-ins]].
It is similar to a [[545]], but without the second, delayed timebase.
Instead, it has a range of horizontal magnifiers from ×2 to ×100. 


The 543 has the same six-stage balanced [[distributed amplifier]] (twelve [[6DK6]] tubes) as the 545,

The '''543''' has the same six-stage balanced [[distributed amplifier]] (twelve [[6DK6]] tubes) as the 545,
driving a lumped L/C delay line just before the deflection plates.

While the 545 has two non-calibrated X-input sensitivities,
the 543 has an X input with calibrated deflection sensitivity of 0.1 V/cm, 1 V/cm, or 10 V/cm.


Total acceleration voltage on the CRT is 10 kV. The CRT power supply uses five [[5642]] HV tube diodes.
