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.

Expert or not, you got it working. It was a mix of everything at once I think, storage was switched on, the intensity was set low (doy), and it turns out it takes a few seconds for the tube to warm up and a line to appear. Since taking this photo the power light also decided to start working again.
Thanks for the help!
Edit: Had to take it back downstairs. Something about it is making me sneeze like crazy. Only thing I know i'm allergic to is cats, so the previous owner must've had a few about and dust settled inside. I'll have to blow it out with compressed air or something.

Hi Lads, this is my haul from Sundays car booting, I was with John and had a good day too.
As you can see quite a good engineering related batch today, the lathe tools are 25x25 type for the big lathe some with spare tips too and a parting tool with spare blades and tips, the boring bar is 25mm and a good length, a couple of decent DTI's and a Noga mag base plus various taps, calipers etc.
Ther is a nice old Weller 100w soldering iron and a Burgess Vibro tool engraver, a good old powerful heavy duty thing not like the Sh** you get today , its even in the original box !, a couple of de burring tolls with spare blades.
This is the best DTI , a Rambold German made 2 inch travel guage, I have never heard of them but its good quality and feels heavy. I think everything in total came to £60 or a few quid less, so well happy with the days goods.
Cheers Mick.
