Anyone have a quick link or a reference to the right way to bring up an 
old amp power supply?  I have a variac for both 120 and 220, and I got 
an old friend's Drake L4B, not used for at least 10 years (maybe more) 
and nothing was apparently wrong when it was stored (he was looking for 
chimney's of some sort).  I'd like to bring the power supply up so that 
the electrolytic caps will work once again.  I'd love to find basic, 
detailed instructions, its something I've never attempted before.  
Thought I'd ask here, most trusted list I know :-)

Now, for Ten Tec content, I still have several (cycolac?) panels from 
the satellite box, I think these panels would fit the Argonaut 505 and 
509 maybe, I can measure them again if you are interested, I just want 
to send them out to someone who might use them.
