In general when powering up equipment that has been turned of for years: Use a variac and ram the voltage up slowly over a couple of days. Electrolytics can loose their polarisation over time and if exposed to full voltage they are likely to splatter all over the place, but if you give them a slow start they will most often recover their polarisation and work fine. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
