I adopted the same strategy as last time with general Cleaning and Lubricating. Nothing looked remotely stressed so connected up to the PSU and switched on.
I bit of twiddling produced a nice bright Spot in the middle of the CRT although oddly the X-Shift is backwards by modern convention.
Nothing ventured etc so connected up the 162 Sawtooth Output and got a nice Line
The Line was a bit long and the Blanking wasn't connected but it looked promising. Connecting up the Gate output from the 162 killed off the Retrace nicely.
At that stage I had to knock off so left it Soaking.
When I got back the 'Line' was a bit shorter - it's V hot in the Garage - but apart from that everything looked fine. So I've now got a simple little Scope-ish.
I've managed to catch a Cold and feel like the proverbial 'Death warmed up' so there might be a short break before I get back to setting it up properly.
