Re: Ultra Electric Ltd. 101
Yes, as Paul RK says - don't power it up in its current state for more than a minute or so unless you can verify that it has been electrically restored.
Many sellers (car boot, charity shop, even antique dealers) will say something is 'working' after powering it up having been dormant for 50 years and seen (dial lights) and heard (crackles, whistling) signs of life when in reality a lot of components will have aged and will not take kindly to that jolt of electricity!
"Working" they might be, but often they are not sold Refurbished or Restored
