Having completed the Means to the Means to the End - http://golbornevintageradio.co.uk/forum/...p?tid=4754 - and the Means to the End - http://golbornevintageradio.co.uk/forum/...p?tid=4758 - I can get back to the End 
When I plugged in the 163 the Waveforms could be best described as a shambles. This is after all Tektronix so the least you should expect is a good clean Sawtooth.
First step was to check the Voltages, and it turned out that when Loaded the -170v, which is the source of all Wisdom, would only go to -165. I can't really believe that it being 5 Volts low poses a problem. Nevertheless, it seems a good idea to start with the right Voltages, hence the Load etc.
So, back to the PSU.
