Vince,
If all the caps are new, is this really a concern? I always thought one did this with very old caps that had not been powered in a long time.

NPC Funny, Teri had an Rz350 and I was looking at the two Gamma frames today. One has a raptor 660 engine sitting in it and the other is waiting for its 570 original engine to get put back together after extruding a piston through a rotary valve. and there's an rd400 engine sitting on the floor for some reason.... How, exactly would I go about bringing up to full voltage, not owning a variac?

NPC Thanks, Vince. I've actually had both units running, just haven't fired this latest one up with its new caps, etc. Probably a still idea to form the caps, though?

NPC A good rule when powering up unknown tube gear is to start up using a rheostat. Good luck!

NPC I've been getting back into vintage tube stereo stuff, just finished (I think) restoring my second Fisher 500B. First one was bought new by my Dad in 1962-3. Question is: Is it really as simple as hooking up neutral and power the way they were and adding ground wire to chassis if I want to convert to three prong plug? Or will that make the smoke leak?
