The '''Tektronix Type 543''' (rack mount '''RM43''') is an all-tube 30 MHz scope [[introduced in 1958]]. | The '''Tektronix Type 543''' (rack mount '''RM43''') is an all-tube 30 MHz scope [[introduced in 1958]]. | ||
[[letter-series and 1-series plug-ins]]. | 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, driving a lumped L/C delay line just before the deflection plates. | The 543 has the same six-stage balanced [[distributed amplifier]] (twelve [[6DK6]] tubes) as the 545, | ||

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. | While the 545 has two non-calibrated X-input sensitivities, | ||

The '''543B''' is a tube/transistor hybrid scope. The vertical amplifier has a [[6DJ8]] cathode follower stage followed by two transistor/tube cascode stages with a 186 Ω [[delay line]] in-between. The standard CRT for the 543B is part number [[154-0478-00]], also known as the [[T5470]]-31-2. | The '''543B''' is a tube/transistor hybrid scope. | ||
