Thanks Les!

Well I tried to remove the board last night but couldn't. The wires to the back of it were too tight. I was going to connect the new caps to the legs of the old caps after removing the bodies of the three caps that were leaky.

However the second "parts" D54 I mentioned above was here when I got home and although the channel 1 Volts/CM switch is damaged, the unit works fine! So my original unit will become the parts doner. At least I know everything works apart from the time base and I can swap over the channel 1 rotary switch at some point. I am still tempted to get to the bottom of the timebase problem as it would be a good learning exercise!

Still at least I can start those repair jobs that need a scope now!

Thanks everyone.
