The power should be brought up slowly using a Variac. There are capacitors, especially in the power supply, that need to "reform" if the TV has been sitting for a long time. There are numerous factors that need consideration in a gradual power-up and it would be pointless to cover all of them in a single post. My advice would be to search google, YouTube and this site for topics such as "dim bulb setup", "reforming capacitors", "series string sets", "isolation transformer/current limiting variac". One thing is for certain and that is you will need to purchase and/or build some used or new pieces of relatively inexpensive equipment.
Or you could just slam it with 125V AC and see what happens! Will be entertaining either way.
Good Luck!
