I haven't used one in 10 years.
[...]tried focusing, tried intensity, tried varying volt/div, and delay,
but nothing would show up.

Has the instrument also been idle for 10 years?
If so, the lytics could have dried out / de-formed
and the scope just isn't working.
Slapping the juice to an electronic device
that has been in storage for an extended period is a gamble.

I would first try minimum sensitivity (10V/div??),
1ms/div, auto-trigger, and work the vertical position knob.
If you can turn the sweep off, you should get a dot.
Some scopes have a Beam Finder button.

Here is a picture of the oscilloscope which shows it was working about
a month ago.

The manual says the scope should be on for 20 minutes before using it.
