The 502 uses a single supply for the upper beam and lower beam CRT cathodes.   
The early 502 uses a single supply for the upper beam and lower beam CRT cathodes (HV transformer [[120-114]]).   
The 502A has separate supplies for the two CRT cathodes.
Later models (1959+, see [[Media:070-090.pdf|070-090]]) and the 502A have separate supplies for the two CRT cathodes (HV transformer [[120-150]]).
