Everything was OK but I did find a loose screw rolling around in the PSU

I am very glad I gave the thing a "once-over" or I would have allowed
the "magic smoke" to escape !!!

I seem to remember someone else finding loose screws.
Talk about it ! :-/

I had my 2232 for a year, was working just fine. Then I had to do some work on it, UNrelated to the PSU. Once I was done, put it back together, went for a test drive to make sure all was well.. and it was... for a few minutes. Then out of the blue, magic smoke escaped from that scope that was working just fine a second before ! Turned out to be a loose screw in the PSU... I guess I must have dislodged it while working on the scope, argh... well at least it was an opportunity to work on these 22XX PSUs , learn about them and get some hands on experience... made fixing the PSU of a later acquired 2215A, incredibly easy and fast. So I try to see the bright side of things....
