Multiple secondary windings feeds diodes for rectification for different voltages. Both center-tap and bridge configuration is used. Its a all Tube design for the regulation. There are multiple 6.3V secondary outputs for heaters, many elevated to different voltage levels based on the section/tube its used for to keep the Heater-Cathode voltage level within limits. | Multiple secondary windings feeds diodes for rectification for different voltages.

As is common in many Tektronix scopes, all regulated voltages are referred to the negative regulated rail (−150 V in this case) by fixed low-tolerance dividers. Only the −150 V voltage is trimmed, its reference is a OG3 VR tube. A 12AX7 is used as the comparator, two 6CW5 in parallel are used as series pass tubes. A 6AU6 is used as an error amplifier. | As is common in many Tektronix scopes, all regulated voltages are referred to the negative regulated rail (−150 V in this case) by fixed low-tolerance dividers.
