Of course, I won't apply any power until the caps are changed, and resistors are checked or changed. I want to test tubes, at least the EL84s before power up as well. I have no idea how long the previous owner ran it red plated.
There are some who would fight harder to keep something more original, but I always test electrolytics by seeing what noise they make as they hit the trash can. This will probably be my intro to re-stuffing chassis mounted electrolytics, but I've been watching members of this forum on YouTube and I'm pretty sure I have a handle on it.
I won't be able to actually work on this for a few weeks, so I'm searching for an appropriate speaker to pass the time.
