The '''Tektronix 7503''' is a 100 MHz 7000-series mainframe with 3 module bays.
The '''Tektronix 7503''' is a 90 MHz 7000-series mainframe with three module bays, [[introduced in 1970]]. It was effectively replaced by the larger-screen [[7603]] in 1972.
In contrast to most other 7000-series mainframes, which have switch mode power supplies,
the 7503 uses a linear power supply.


The 7503 project was managed by [[Phil Crosby]], and was supposed to be a [[7504]] but with one fewer plug-in.

==Internals==
Like other 75xx and 76xx mainframes and the 7504, the 7503 has a linear power supply, as opposed to the switchmode supplies used in the later 4-slot mainframes.
