If it had been in a very humid environment it would have foxed much more heavily than it has done, so it's a pretty good indicator that your 'scope has had an easy life, as far as that goes. I bet that control board gives you a lot less trouble than a later one would. Going SMD (crapacitors!) was not a step forward.

Without a doubt this 2465 had an easy life. Unlike the 465 I'm working on that clearly spent some time in a damp environment. It's been a challenge at times and it still isn't fully functional.

I haven't got that in either of my 2465s or my 2445b :(

I've cracked the case of my newly acquired 2465. Nice modern fan, 1985 datestamps, all rails within spec :) Wimas crazed and ready to blow :(

I think the term is: Winner, winner, chicken-dinner!

Hmmm, I also have a 465B that looks to have been in barn.... possibly serving as a door stop. I have BD139's assurance they are nice to work on, which is a relief, as I feel that mine will also need lots of working on. Total, like, kwinky-dinks! I even have a broken knob (fnar, fnar) due to poor shipping on the 2465B I've got, it even bent the shaft of the "intensity" pot, and all I found of the knob were about 60% of the crumbs.

The "var" knob I ordered from Greece arrived here today, ordered about three days ago, colour me amazed.

You know, It might be a good idea for me to check those. That would be a "stupidity" fail  :palm:

I recently picked up a 400MHz DSO LeCroy 9310AM which was in a barn - and covered in a film of moisture from condensing clouds.

I let it dry out for a week, turned it on and only the fan moved. Left it another week before I worked up courage to look inside, expecting the worst.

Found the EHT lead hanging off the CRT; oh hell, didn't know that was possible. Then realised that it was merely clipped in place into a circular depression in the glass. Reattached it, and everything sprang into life :)

Not a bad scope, shame it doesn't have an FFT. Might even keep it.
