I have just acquired a very nice old
National NCL2000 amp (along
with the matching NCX5 transciever &
NCX-A supply ) that
hasn't been turned on in about 20 years.
I intend to bring it up
slowly to reform and avoid shock to the
old power supply electrolytics.
I have a 120vac variac, but none for
220, and I believe this should
work out OK, but what are the "gotchas"
involved? I feel that I should
remove the tubes as a precaution against
any possible damaging flashover.
Any suggestions from those who are
familar with this amp? Also
any loose 8122's around and available?
I'll want some spares if I keep it.
