I'd just like to have an idea of what the problem might be before
I
change any more components. Now I'm half wondering if it's the IC
and the fact that it's facing up and has a fan on it is allowing
it to
work properly. Anyway, thanks for reading my long story and I'd
appreciate any suggestions you have.

This is where I downloaded the service manual:

The problem is you bought the scope without the manual that should
accompany it as it travels through life. I lucked out and got my
$225 465 from a Tek sales rep/ham. The 2" thick manual includes all
repairs, upgrades, part substitutions, liner notes, etc. In a
perfect world the manual travels with the device.

Wasn't there a place to hold the manual in many of the scopes? I
can't remember, but when I got my 545 (with some plug-ins) I seem to
recall the
manual was in some slot or place in the case. Certainly the
hospital
discards came with manuals. I was lucky, someone I knew grabbed it
all before it was tossed out

Mr Terrell beat me to it :-)
Yes the scope had a pouch that fastened to the top. In my case it was
removed so that it would fit into the soft carry bag. I used to keep
the mains lead under the plastic front panel cover along with the
pair of scope probes.
