Thanks to WaveyDipole for bringing this to our attention. I went over to Bletchley to collect a TEK585 magnificent beast of an oscilloscope. There was a note on it that all DC power rails were missing but I brought a TEK544 back to life a year ago so was not deterred. It too had power problems and they are very similar between the different 500 models. On a fairly quick examination it seems on mine the 45 second timer isn't working so I need to investigate further. I might be putting out a request in the Wanted section!
