Ekco A22 Advice
I was recently (very kindly) given an Ekco A22 which has been in my partner's family from new. It has never been restored and, other than servicing during it's early life, has never had any fettling whatsoever and has only ever been stored in a heated home environment. As such, it's in quite remarkably good nick.
Apparently it has not been run in perhaps more than 20 years so nobody really knows whether it is in working order. When I have a bit more time, I'll give it a thorough inspection followed by gentle power up via a lamp limiter. However, given the condition of this set, are there any other precautions I should take before applying power? I really don't want to inadvertently do anything which might cause unnecessary damage to such a gorgeous set.
