I am feeling brave today !
Got pumped up by the successul "repair" on the little Wavetek, so I decided to up my game and have a go at recapping my Tek 2467B scope who RIFA's turned the scope into a disco smoke machine the other day !

Never worked on a 24XX series scope before, so I am learning as I go... looks not too bad. I think I have got the PSU assembly almost out, did 99% of the work... but it won't come out just yet. Looks like it's kept from letting go, by something really stupid !
There are two wires coming from the lien voltage selector switch that plug onto the board. Need to remove that but access is next to nil !

The terminals are at the very bottom of the board, I can't even get to them with my fingers, never mind with tools !
.. because as you can see the line filter is in the way above the selector switch !
I could remove the line filter but... no, bad idea, because of it's two retaining screws is impossible to get to, PSU is in the way. If I remove that bolt, I will never be able to put the nut back on !
Or.... maybe if I remove the fuse holder that's sitting above the line filter... that would be SLIGHTLY better access to that nut, better hope of being able to put it back on afterwards... but that's still taking a chance. If I lose the nut, good luck getting it back out the scope ...
Dwagon said he recapped his 2465 some time ago... I guess the PSU design and integration is very similar to the 2467 no ?
Any tips to help me out there ? How did you proceed for these two last wires ??

Maybe I got carried away and should not have touched this scope... but it's too late now... I must finish the job, quick, before I forget how to put it all back together !!!
