Ah yes the upside down relay trick .
Having a couple of Yaesu FT480R radios that is the only way to fit a modern more reliable replacement as the original types are long gone.
I concur with Michael that Philips scopes weren't the best. The one I had suffered EHT transformer failure twice!!! A known problem, the scope was scrapped many years ago. In fact my Tec scope also died a catastrophic death with major PSU failure. Now use my trusty Hitachi, simple basic and generally very reliable with occasional maintenance and calibration every 5 years.
