Dave saved this classic from the dumpster, a HP 1740A 100MHz dual channel analog oscillocope from the mid 1970's.
It wasn't supposed to be working so this is a look at the problem, a mini teardown, and some basic PSU troubleshooting.
Update: Even after 4 hours it still doesn't fail with the covers off. So likely to be some sort of thermal issue as suspected.
