but I can't find the answer in the archives because I can't get the wording right...
I rebuilt my ST-70 circa 2006, Curcio rebuild kit with stock circuit driver board and quad cap PS replacement board, etc. Tubes good, NOS driver tubes, Winged "C" EL34s. Probably not more than 50 hours on the rebuild.
I haven't used the amp in three or four years, maybe five, but I want to try it again.
Can I just start this puppy up, or do I need a variac?
Sorry for asking this again...
