Attention to the front knobs etc took the form of Meguiars PlastX applied with a cotton bud to get in the slots of the knobs and then a quick finish with Armourall which leaves a nice shiny finish.
The scope had a few final adjustments and below is shown displaying a 1MHz sine wave ( the 'limit' of the plug in).
