Smile Colortrak CTC120

Recently I've had a desire for a really nice solid state console color set, so I put an ad up on CL. Ended up coming home with this very nice '83 RCA GJR698P, CTC120 chassis set. Very nice neighborhood, the people had two brand new Lexus' in the driveway.

They bought it new, and was in perfect working condition when moved to their garage early last year. So, as it is, it's an unknown with some hope for life

Now since it was stored in a garage for almost a year, should I variac this set up, or just plug it in? I have never used a variac on a SS set yet, but now I'm wondering if that might not be a bad idea. I remember reading here NOT to variac a SS set, but I can't remember for the life of me if that's good, bad, or what....
