Did you pop your Leader on the scope last night at all?

Seeing as it's going to be taken apart and restored, what about adding a backlight to the display, as someone did with their HP3478A?

Its not possible, I already looked at doing that when I got the first Philips. The display is recessed into the front panel in such a why that is impossible to edge lights it and the thing is so well screened internal with metal plates that also double up as strengthening for the brittle plastics and at same time retaining items such as the display which is sandwiched between the plastic and the metal screening.

As to restoring it, it was only restoring it back hopefully back to working condition, the case is always going to be broken as I've yet to see one that is better shape then mine and thats held together with plastic cement  :-DD
