All four Type 131 models used PNP transistors, thus requiring a negative power source. Models 1 thru 3 were hard-wired to their separate minus ~19 V power supplies, while Model 4 got a power supply, [[015-027]] for 115 V<sub>AC</sub>, with a proprietary Tektronix coaxial connector.  The center pin of the Type 131 Model 4 power supply connector is grounded, so the outer contact is ~19 V negative. Note that the [[015-0058-01]] power supply for the Type [[134]] uses the same connector with the same relative voltage levels (center conductor ~19 V more positive than the outer contact) but the negative outer contact on the Type 134 power supply is held close to ground. So the Type 131 Model 4 will only work with the correct [[015-027]] power supply.

Using the wrong power supply with either amplifier type will short circuit the power supply output. Tektronix claims that this will not damage the Type 134 power supply (015-0058-01) if connected to a Type 131. Damage to the Type 131 [[015-027]] power supply seems likely if it is connected to a Type 134. Damage to the amplifier itself is unlikely either way.

Power supplies for Type [[134]]s are labeled "POWER SUPPLY FOR TYPE [[134]]", while those for Type 131 Model 4 have no marking other than Tektronix and [[015-027]]. All Type 131 power supplies have the AC line connector built onto the end of the power supply housing. Early [[134]] power supplies share the same construction, while later [[134]] power supplies came with a ~1 m AC line cord and plug.
