The 7904 uses a switch-mode power supply and has no fan. It incorporates a 65 ns Y delay line.
The 7904(A) incorporates a 65 ns Y delay line.
This delay is too short for some older time bases such as [[7B53]] to display the trigger event.
This delay is too short for some older time bases such as [[7B53]] to display the trigger event. The signal path is completely differential and the internal signal wiring is 50 Ω coax.
The CRT ([[154-0644-05]]) has [[distributed vertical deflection plates]].

The 7904A includes [[155-0173-05]], [[155-0175-05]] and [[155-0178-05]] amplifiers.
Early 7904 have issues with horizontal aberrations for sweep rates of 1 ns/Div or faster. After discovery of the issue modification kits that replace the horizontal amplifier were offered. For more information see the table below and the [[Media:Tek 067-0657-00 with schematics.pdf|manual]] of the [[067-0657-00|067-0657-00 Normalized Ramp Generator]] that was use to investigate this issue.

===7904A===
The CRT ([[154-0644-05]]) has [[distributed vertical deflection plates]].
The 7904A is a complete redesign and uses the [[155-0173-05]], [[155-0175-05]] and [[155-0178-05]] amplifiers developed for the [[7104]]. A fan is added at the rear switch mode power supply.
