Hi all -

 

I have come across what may be the deal of the year, or maybe the turkey of
the year. I have found a Henry 2K-4A amp that has been stored uncovered for
8 years next to a radial arm saw! The owner swears it worked perfectly when
his late father used it last 8 years ago.

 

Other than a good cleaning, is there anything I should watch for, (or watch
out for?) 

 

In that time:       Are the HV caps probably dried out or bad now?

                        

                        Are switches likely to be gummy or arc-prone?

 

                        Are the 2 3-500Z's likely to still be good? Leakage?
Gassy? If so, can they still be saved?

 

Anything else? Other suggestions? All help will be appreciated.

                        

 

73,
