Turning on older SS gear after storage

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Hello, All

I am about to install one of my back-up JVC XP A1010 ambiance processors. It has been in storage for at least 10 years and is over 25 years old. Are there any special procedures for powering up old SS gear like this unit, or should I just cross my fingers and hit the switch?

BTW, the old unit developed a shrill screeching noise out of the blue -- could this be bad power supply caps? Know of any techs in the Atlanta area that might be able to fix one of these?

Thanks for any and all advice,

David
