I guess we've all done the same thing. About 10 years ago I man gave me a similiar RCA which had been stored in an unheated building for about 10 years. He told me it worked fine so as soon as I got it home I plugged it in. Same results: smoke, accompanied in my case by angry sounds from the power supply. A filter cap had let go. No real harm done, though. After a recap it worked nearly as good as new.
