The Eico 460 was a flagship product for Eico for many years. There used to be an Eico 460 enthusiast site on Geocities years ago. I found it when researching my first 460 - I've got two, only one of which is working. I resored it as a winter project back in 2001/2002.
Most likely, your old 1500V supply caps just died - my recommendation is to not use it until a full recap is done. The higher line voltage doesn't seem to bother mine a bit - I have 127V at the outlet in my garage shop. I'll admit that I've never felt the transformer for temps, though.
Many other tube based oscopes are out there - I've got several Heaths, an RCA, a Dumont, and a Knightkit, which is my next restoration. They're very easy to work on, and their boxy cabinets make them easy to store under the bench.
Eico made a model 488 "switch" - a separate unit that would allow any Oscope to become dual channel. I have one somewhere, and have never tried to use it. Great accessory if you are using it to troubleshoot input vs. output in audio circuits.
Congrats on a great find.
Cheers,
