The enclosure felt a a bit hotter than usual immediately afterwards.

The incandescents on the graticule working fine though, and they're fed
off the negative PSU rail, but the positive low-voltage supply is
definitely down for the count. I haven't had a chance to open it up yet
but hoping it's an easy fix...

do you you need a schematic?

I have a schmo for the cos5040 which is similar.

I have a COS5060 and have been using it for 20 years.

I had 3 issues with it so far...
intermit connectors in the vertical amps
bad solder joints
and the HV seems to fade if i leave it on for over an hour and it gets too hot.
