To limit the potential damage at start-up you could install an in-rush current limiter, the voltage won't change much, but the reduced current will help. They use such in some MacIntosh amps. I installed a Keystone CL-80 in my Fisher 500C. If you don't use the phono input, pulling the 12AX7s will allow the power tranny and caps to run much cooler; I did this on my 500C without any ill effects, AFAIK.
