Yup! I calls 'em as I sees 'em.
A controlled start with a variac would not be out of the question though as a majority of the weak points are gone, and you could get lucky on the rest. In my experience BTW one can run variacs and isolation transformers well beyond their current ratings for a short time without any illeffects...Over heating is their failure mode and if the overload is not too extreme it can take north of 10 minutes for that to happen...Plenty of time for warmup and some futzing around.
