    How Safe Is It To Switch On A Quad Valve Amp After Being In Storage?

    If a rebuild is the best option I'd rather sell them off as is to someone with the time, patience and funds to do so.

    How Safe Is It To Switch On A Quad Valve Amp After Being In Storage?

    So this is what I see in the one amp. The large caps are 47uf 500v, is that correct? I've read articles that say it's 2 16uf caps.

    How Safe Is It To Switch On A Quad Valve Amp After Being In Storage?

    OK so I managed to turn both amps on while connected to a speaker. I started with the 60w bulb for 15 mins, then the 105w for 15 mins as well and lastly another 15 mins straight from the wall plug. Both amps turned on perfectly fine, although there is a hum on the speakers the whole time.

    How Safe Is It To Switch On A Quad Valve Amp After Being In Storage?

    That's the plan. Il use the 60w first and if all goes well il jump to the 105w and if that goes good then il plug the amps straight into the wall plug. When powering the amps up with the bulb tester, should I have speakers connected to them?

    I'm going to give the light bulb trick a go.

    How Safe Is It To Switch On A Quad Valve Amp After Being In Storage?

    I've read about the bulb trick. So I just wire in the bulb on the same ac line that goes to the amps and then turn them on? In a good scenario, both amps turn on and no smoke or issues, do I then remove the bulb and give the amps the full 220v?

    Is this a bookshelf speaker?

    It would be more of a bookshelf speaker if it was on top of some books that are actually on the shelf.
