Well turns out the CRO just needed recalibration after my work in replacing the input FET's and the resister divider for the trigger circuit.
It was just not triggering properly, after doing a calibration as per the service manual it came good.
At least at lower frequencies.
Triggering becomes unstable at higher frequencies, but I am not going to bother any more with it.
I have already spent enough time on this and I am going to call it, and have put it back together.
I really only want to use this CRO in X-Y mode for usage with my Hameg HM8028 Spectrum Analyser anyway and that works fine.
The analyzer doesn't have a screen itself, it uses the CRO as its display (I have a Hitachi 15Mhz Dual Channel CRO when I want to use an Analog CRO for chasing signals).
My two Rigol DSO's don't quite make it for the job with the Hameg Analyzer, and the analog CRO gives a much better display for that usage.
As requested I took a few photos this evening.

BWD 509B in the foreground, with my nearly brand new Rigol DS1054Z in the background. (And my DS1052E which I bought after watching one of Dave's first reviews back in the single digits, is sitting on the shelf behind me when I took this photo)
Second up a close up of the BWD 509B.
Thirdly just for completeness is a bit of an overview of my work bench.
In the photo is
Far left WEP PS-3005D Variable Power Supply (Hmm made in China "to a price" quality.... lovely
)
Middle bottom left Rigol DS1054Z (Bought after watching Dave's review on this DSO a month ago)
Middle top left Rhino Tools ZD985 Desoldering Station (Bought after being reviewed by Dave in EEVblog #542) and an old 6 Amp 13.8v Power Supply
Middle bottom right Marconi TF2015 10-520Mhz Signal Generator with matching Marconi TF2171 Digital Synchroniser for the Signal Gen.
Middle Top Dick Smith T2250 Soldering Station (Oldish but reliable, rebadged Xytronix 169D and takes Hakko 900M Tips so does everything I want)
Right bottom Anritsu MS62B7 1.7Ghz Spectrum Analyzer (Also sitting in front of it is a BK Precision 2709B bought after watching Dave's $100 multimeter shootout, one of half a dozen multimeters I have floating around)
Right middle Hameg HM8028 500Mhz Spectrum Analyzer with Tracking Generator and 898D+ SMD Hot Air Rework + Soldering station which I bought after watching Dave's review of the similar Atten 858 (It is also very handy to be able to have a second soldering iron running hot at times)
Right top Kenwood TS-2000 Radio, Power supply for that radio, and an old Dell laptop for looking up stuff while I am at my bench.
There does seem to be a bit of a pattern up there on some of my equipment after watching Dave Jones review certain pieces of equipment haha.
