-[[Phil Crosby]] led the design.
 The design team decided to use a discrete transistor vertical output amplifier rather than a hybrid on beryllium oxide.
 The output stage approximated a 3 pole [[MFED response]] with an additional real pole closer to the origin.
-Since the DC requirement was 3 screen diameters, the gain at the -3db point could be substantially less,
+Since the DC requirement was 3 screen diameters, the gain at the -3db point could be substantially less, meaning that the load resistor (and output stage dissipation) could be reduced, allowing the design to meet scan bandwidth and corner shift criteria with substantially reduced power dissipation.

 The 7403N was discontinued around 1975, having been superseded largely by the popular [[7603]] introduced in 1973.
-In 1974, the 7403N had a list price (without plug-ins) of $950.
