[[500-series scopes]] (53x, 54x, and 55x) and [[127]], [[132]], [[133]]

have bays that take [[letter-series and 1-series plug-ins]]
which typically control the vertical axis of the display.
Two exceptions are the [[555]] and the [[536]]. 
The 555 additionally takes two 555-specific timing/sweep plug-ins (21, 22, 21A, 22A) that control the horizontal deflection of the two beams.
The 536 takes two [[letter-series and 1-series plug-ins|letter-series or 1-series plug-ins]]; One controls vertical, the other horizontal, in XY mode.
 
The pinout changed significantly in the 20+ year run of the 500 series. Pins 1, 2, 3, 8, 16, and all power supply pins remained the same, however.
 
The Type [[T]] timebase plugin and its host, the horizontal bay in the [[536]] also have a banana jack mounted above the main connector for retrace blanking.
 
[[580-series scopes]] use their own very similar plug-ins.
 
 
The pinout on the connector is as follows:
