Default Re: Oscilloscope not used in years

Had a few of these Telequipment scopes including a S51A, all the caps re-formed ok. Did you power it up Brett through a LL? If you power it up and leave it on with an AC ammeter clipped on to the fuse (fuse out) in the plug to monitor it's current consumption, you should be fine. If current draw goes up, switch off and check the caps.

One of those plug in "watt meter's" is handy for this sort of thing.
