[Test-Equipment] [TekScopes] Re: 2465(B) power supply recapping recommendations

[Pete Lancashire]

if the 2465A is working, the first thing I would do is replace every
electrolytic cap. Sadly the failure mode is to vent the electrolyte
onto the PCB. In pretty much no time it will eat its way into the
board. It is advice I need to take myself.
