    IMPORTANT Include INSTRUMENT TYPE and SERIAL NUMBER in all cor- respondence regarding any Tektronix instrument. The serial number stamped in the instruction manual must match the instrument serial number if parts are to be ordered from the manual. Observance of the above precautions will assure your receipt of the correct replacement parts with a minimum of delay.
