==Internals==
A slide switch under the right side cover allows the variable sweep control to be used as a variable holdoff control instead.
The SC504 uses some custom Tek ICs, namely the [[155-0124-00]] preamplifier (U4345), [[155-0109-01]] trigger (U3238), and [[155-0122-00]] A-B logic (U3158). There are two passive input attenuator hybrids (HY1520, HY1420) and two [[155-0161-00]] attenuator/amplifier hybrids (HY1530, HY1430). 
The power supply uses the pass transistors provided by the two mainframe slots that the SC504 covers.
Those on the right slot provide ±20 V from the mainframe's ±33.5 V rails, those on the left slot make +5 V from the +11.5 V rail and −5 V from the rectified 17 V<sub>AC</sub> supply.  Power is drawn from the right mainframe slot,  the pass transistors are the only connections on the left slot.

Rear interface

The SC504 has dedicated rear interface signal inputs switchable from the front panel AC/DC/GND/Int DC coupling selectors. These are terminated in 50 Ω (max. 5 VRMS, 0.5 W).

Additionally, it provides a trigger input, Z-axis input (±5 V), delayed gate input (ECL), gate select input (ground for ext gate), intensify input (ECL), Ch1 trigger output (>50 mV/Div, 30 MHz), triggered gate output (ECL), holdoff output (ECL), ramp output (0−10 V), sweep reset input, ready light output, and +5 V.

Internals

A slide switch under the right side cover allows the variable sweep control to be used as a variable holdoff control instead.

The SC504 uses some custom Tek ICs, namely the 155-0124-00 preamplifier (U4345), 155-0109-01 trigger (U3238), and 155-0122-00 A-B logic (U3158). There are two passive input attenuator hybrids (HY1520, HY1420) and two 155-0161-00 attenuator/amplifier hybrids (HY1530, HY1430).

The power supply uses the pass transistors provided by the two mainframe slots that the SC504 covers. Those on the right slot provide ±20 V from the mainframe's ±33.5 V rails, those on the left slot make +5 V from the +11.5 V rail and −5 V from the rectified 17 VAC supply. Power is drawn from the right mainframe slot, the pass transistors are the only connections on the left slot.
