Hi Retro......let me be the first to warn you about "just plugging it in and turning it on"......old electronics that have been dormant for a long time should NEVER be awoken without some precautions.

If you are familiar with electronics in general then you may already be aware of this, but I'll try and hit the highlights and let the experts to fill in the details. Old capacitors can dry out and end up shorted which can cause potentially major damage when you blast current thru them.....there's a method to "soft start" the set that will tell you if you may have a problem or not before you wreck the poor ol gal.

Please let us know what, if any, electronics background you already have so we don't insult or confuse you. :-)
