Not HP or TEK but my favorite scope with a Z-Axis:
Fluke PM3394B

There are 3 kinds of people in this world, those who can count and those who can not.

Fine, I said HP or Tek cause usually those have schematics published but that one is available too:

Are you just interested in listing solid state scopes with Z-axis inputs? As I have a few vintage boat anchor HP scopes here which all seem to have a Z-axis input (or intensity modulation), but not all can do X-Y mode if that is needed.

Yes David, with Z input is enough.  If they are hp better, they clearly lost the race in osc tubes to tektronix and there are not that many models out there

Ok here's the list of what I have with Z input;

HP 130A, 130C
HP 140A, 140B
HP 150A
HP 175A

The two early ones (130A & 150A) use standard bought in tubes, the rest have HP tubes with the internal graticule, they didn't start making scopes till the mid to late 50's.

You can add the Tektronix 453 to the list.

Part # or model # ?

In the manual for the one I had it was a Telequipment D83 made by Telequipment, a division of Tektronix.

Oh, the "whys" of the datasheets... The information is there not to be an axiomatic truth, but instead each speck of data must be slowly inhaled while carefully performing a deep search inside oneself to find the true metaphysical sense...
