The CRT circuit in the 555 has two high voltage transformers.
The CRT circuit in the 555 is really two separate modules. 
One transformer, T901, generates:
It is split between two internal metal enclosures, each one containing a high voltage transformer and associated tubes.
The lower beam HV power supply is based on transformer T901 and produces:
* CRT anode voltage: +8650V
* CRT anode voltage: +8650V
* lower beam CRT cathode voltage: -1350V
* lower beam CRT cathode voltage: -1350V
* lower beam CRT control grid (blanking) voltage: floating, -1500V
* lower beam CRT control grid (blanking) voltage: floating, -1500V


The other transformer, T801, generates:
The upper beam HV power supply is based on T801 and produces:
* upper beam CRT cathode voltage: -1350V
* upper beam CRT cathode voltage: -1350V
* upper beam CRT control grid (blanking) voltage: floating, -1500V
* upper beam CRT control grid (blanking) voltage: floating, -1500V
Rectification is performed by a total of six [[5642]] rectifier tubes.
Each of the two HV power supplies is independently regulated using
a two-stage common-cathode amplifier based on a [[12AU7]] dual triode.
The oscillator tube is a [[6CZ5]] power pentode.
