ID Question

[racerchick21]

Hi All,

I joined this forum to get info on the Sansui I recently purchased, and am amazed at the wealth of information I didn't know I needed to know! I got the radio pictured below as a housewarming gift a dozen years ago, it worked when I got it. I have no idea what it is and I've moved twice and haven't tried it since, is there anything I should do before trying it again? When I first got it my ex father-in-law looked it over and said it was ok to use (he's a retired electrical engineer), but I don't know now. Any information is appreciated!

Thanks,
Michelle
