You have people in this, and other posts, telling you the exact same thing but it's not sinking in. You are risking a lot by not taking the advice you are being given. People have been hurt or killed by doing what you are doing. Take the time to understand what you are doing instead of just "pokin and hopin". The day will come when you will regret it if you don't.

well first you dont just turn it straight on you turn it on and off slowly, slower than slower(to bring the caps a little life at a time) then all the way on if theres a humm bad caps if not replace tubes if it comes on (its hapened to me before)
play them!
