Definitely dont just plug it into 12O volts, bring it up slow on a varaic at least, smelling for smoke and monitoring the rectifier tube for overload. Big chance the filter caps need replacing on any set that old. Or just replace the main filter caps before even trying it. If they havnt failed yet, they would still be at high risk for failure once the set is used again. They just dont last 50plus years. Just normal maintence for this old stuff.
