CHANGE IN PLUG-IN TYPE DESIGNATION
Sometime in the next few months:
Type 60 will become
Type 63 will become Type 2A63
Type 67 will become Type 2B67
(and price increased to $175)
Type 72 will become Type 3A72
Type 75 will become Type 3A75
The primary reason for the change is to make the
type -designations consistent with the new system.
Examples: 3S76, 3T77, 3A74, 3Al, 3B1, 3B3. Ex-
SPR-131 8-15-62
cept for the 2B67, there will be no electrical differ-
enches. The 2B67 will have a one-shot sweep fea-
ture added, and its price will increase from $160
to $175. Grey knobs instead of black knobs will be
a distinguishing mechanical difference on all of the
above.
The Flash accompanying the Product Availability
list should alert you when the old types are dropped.
The Types 50, 51, and 59 will be dropped from the
new Catalog, will not be advertised, and will keep
their old designations for the foreseeable future.
TYPE 60 AMPLIFIER INSTRUCTION MANUAL CORRECTION FEN 6-15-62
Starting with SN 432, the Type 60 plug-in was
modified to operated V434 and V444 from the reg-
ulated DC filament supply, and to delete Hum
Balance control R493.
Information concerning the modification was inad-
vertently omitted from the Type 60 Instruction
TEK 2A60 ·IRB 2-24-64
Manual until SN480, when the omission was discov-
ered and the manual corrected.
Owners of Type 60 plug-ins above SN 432 whose
manual schematics do not agreee with the instru-
ment circuitry may order updated schematics, un-
der Tek. No. 061-374. There is no charge for one
or two copies.

DEMO
AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH PROCEDURES CALL OUT 560/60/67 FEN 3-30-62
Check Spencer (Detroit) reports that American
Telephone and Telegraph Is "Panel Unguarded Inter-
vals Instruction Manual" distributed to telephone
offices using panel machine switching equipment
calls out use of the Type 560 with Type 60 and
Type 67 plug-ins as a test instrument.
Although the use of a scope (or American Tel
and Tel' s procedures) is optional with the operating
company -- or the local maintenance engineer - -
TEK 2A60 IRB 2-24-64
Check reports that use of the scope provides much
more accurate settings than were previously poss-
ible with mechanical gauges, etc., and hence more
efficient operation of the local equipment.
Since the American Tel and Tel manual fails to
mention Tek cameras in their "available equipment"
listing, it might pay to haul one along if your local
telco asks for a 560demo. Atelephone company will
need a scope camera of some kind for every 6
scopes or so.
