The Tektronix Type 221 is a miniature 5MHz analog scope [[introduced in 1973]].
It has a switching power supply and built-in rechargeable batteries (which are
a maintenance issue).  It has a transformer-coupled trigger circuit which
would seem to preclude DC level-based triggering.  The trigger circuit uses a
[[1N3713]] 1mA [[tunnel diode]].  The vertical output amplifier that drives the
CRT plates is two opamps made from discrete transistors.  One drives the top deflection
plate and the other drives the bottom plate.
