[AMPS] Special power-up on old unused AL-1200?

[Jerry Flanders]

My 14 year old AL-1200 (w/internal QSK, bought new from Ameritron back 
then) has not been powered up for 6-8 years. I was about to power it up to 
get it working with my new IC-756PRO and it occurred to me that perhaps I 
need to take special care starting up the PS caps. I have a variac 
somewhere if I need to charge up slow but would rather not fool with any 
special precautions unless there is reason to.

Any quickie advice before I plug it in?

Thanks

Jerry W4UK
