an RCA or Eico scope.

hey, i have gotten an old (1950's) tektronix type 310 scope that i want to
gut and use for a pc case. i don't want to kill myself, so is there
anything i need to do or be aware of? It does not work and has not been
used for at least 20 yrs, so would components still be carrying a charge
and if so what do i do about them. as it is not working, keeping parts
intact is not an issue...


It's sacrilege indeed! I have a 549 storage scope, just a few models up.
still works like a charm and still the single most useful piece of test
equipment I have /rant
