The 585's front panel layout is almost identical to the [[545A]] that came out at the same time. The 585 also shares internal construction and circuits such as the power supply with the [[535]]/[[545]] line of scopes.

A [[delay relay|6N045 delay relay]] controls a multi-contact relay to switch supply voltages on only after the tubes are warmed up.   
A [[delay relay|6NO45 delay relay]] controls a multi-contact relay to switch supply voltages on only after the tubes are warmed up.   
When the main relay engages, the delay relay is cut out so it will be ready to delay again even after a quick interrupt in power input.
When the main relay engages, the delay relay is cut out so it will be ready to delay again even after a quick interrupt in power input.
12.6 V power supply regulation is referenced from +100V regulated output.  Since +100V is not available during the warm-up period, an unregulated +100 V (~+180 V) is fed as the reference to 12.6 V power supply during warmup period. This is cut out by the multi-contact relay post warmup.


The 585 contains a 53°C (128°F) [[thermal cutoff]].
