UNUSED PS Caps tend to go south in a matter of years. They'll ZAP when hit with full line voltage and power. It is simply physics and chemistry.
Most techs recommend bringing amps which have SAT for years up on a variac. Those kinds of caps have NOT changed in Decades.
Pass is on record as saying how long PS caps last in regular use. 20 or 30 years, IIRC.
