The 1-2-3 switches provided the choice of up to three internal incandescent lamps (parallel connection) for series resistance when the scope was turned on for the first time to prevent damage from shorts that weren't discovered during a visual inspection. Lamp configuration as specified by Tek is one #1 Photoflood lamp (250 watt) and two #2 Photoflood lamps (500 watts each). When all was deemed to be OK then DIRECT was chosen to eliminate the series resistance. | The 1-2-3 switches provided the choice of up to three internal incandescent lamps (parallel connection) for series resistance when the scope was turned on for the first time to prevent damage from shorts that weren't discovered during a visual inspection.
