Tektronix 2205-What is the "Option 40" feature?

I just picked this up and have no info on it whatsoever except for the
above link. The Scope shows it's a 20Mhz scope, the the features list
shows 40Mhz option 40. I'm guessing this might be an upgrade, but
wanted to know for sure. Granted, I don't need anything that high. If
this is an upgrade, is there a way to tell physically? Thanks,

Alex

Thanks for the link to the document. From looking at it, evidently it
IS some sort of upgrade, but not listed. I'll keep searching.

The tek site tells you all you need to know. on the back panel will bee
a sticker with options 40 or 040. It's not an upgrade as this option was
placed in the machine at manufacture. By the way what year was it
manufactured? I couldn't find a mention in several of my 80's catalogues.

Well, I didn't see neither and options 40 sticker or anything showing
manufacture date. Just the 2205 HK and serial number sticker. It's in
pretty good shape, so I thought it might be more recent vintage.
