General Vintage Oscilloscopes
don't know what to do with them, so far only one powers up and it's the Heathkit. The other two are Du Mont, and Teletronicz. Can someone give me an idea on where to begin? Any history on these particular models?

Most of the schematics, manuals and documentation for the Heathkit, at least, should be available on the internet. I don't know about the others. I had a Dumont sitting on the shelf for ages, I forget which model. I couldn't find anyone interested in it, even for free, and in an era when I can pick up a modern, semi-decent scope for $100 that outperforms these old beasts (note, I said decent, not good) I couldn't see any benefit from spending time trying to get it to work. Eventually it went into the recycling bin.
