has a six stage differential distributed vertical output amplifier made of twelve 6DK6 tubes.  The 545B has a partly solid-state, non-distributed vertical output section and uses the same CRT as the 544, 546, and 547.  All versions of 545 use Schmitt trigger circuits for triggering the sweeps.  The trigger circuit was made with a 6DJ8 tube in the original 545 and with NPN transistors in the 545B.
