peterpan - Thanks for the links...I'll definitely check them out.
lowimpedance - Good call on the on cleaning the timebase switches. I sprayed it with some cleaner and after following the "displaying a signal" from the service manual, I got the thing up and running. I still need to go back with some electronic lube, but at least I got the signals to display.
My next issue, which I have yet to tackle (I'll go at it tomorrow evening), is the preamplifier for channel A. Channel B seems to be working just fine. Well at least I think that's the problem or maybe it's another contact switch issue. Probably should check there first. Anyway...Here are my symptoms: When I have the volts/div knob set to say 50mV/div with a 150mVpp sinewave, I read 200mVpp. The same is true for other settings. For example, 200mV/div with 500mVpp sinewave, I read 1.48Vpp. Below is a line of my notes that I took last night showing various volts/div and it's corresponding values and compared with a rigol scope.
