Perfect. Fluke are very good. 

I will have to investigate further. If you have the original trimmers there it is a good idea to change those with a high quality one (i use Bourns 25 turn cermet ones as replacement where possible) - the original ones will fluctuate with temperature and any movement.

I would definitely advise you to do the repairs (much as Gavin has done) before attempting a tune up.
