Amazing haul for a tenner, John!
Scope update: Replaced the euro plug on it, and switched it on. The screen flickered but nothing after that. I'm assuming that even without probing anything you should be seeing a line. So that doesn't bode well. It's all very modular though and everything pulls out for easy access, so hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to find the fault. I tried all the obvious stuff like checking the fuses and looking for leaky caps. Found a manual for it too, so i'll read up on that and look up some other scope repair stuff before I try figure out whats wrong with it. Hopefully it's just user error and I need to press a switch to see anything!

I'm far from being a scope expert but I've owned many since my Telequipment S51 about 42 years ago.
Try the following:
Make sure the storage is switched off.
Try pressing the Trace Locate button. Hopefully something may appear.
There's a square wave calibration output underneath the Trigger Level knob. Take that output and plug it in to one of the Inputs. (Don't worry about a proper probe at this stage.) Adjust the Volts/Div to 0.5V/Div; Switch the Trigger to Auto. Adjust the Vertical Position knob to see if anything appears on the screen.
Good Luck.
Phil.

John,
Some of those threading inserts could be about £10 each!
You lucky Twastard!
Phil.
