NPN BJTs on the bottom and [[8608]] tubes on the top.  The vertical deflection plates of the CRT are driven by the plates of a 8608 10-watt power pentode, through inductive matching/peaking networks.  The 549 is unusual among 54x-series scopes in that it does not use a distributed vertical amplifier.
