Oil filled caps in a 2K4 and they are probably fine.

Hi all -
I have come across what may be the deal of the year, or maybe the turkey
of
the year. I have found a Henry 2K-4A amp that has been stored uncovered
for
8 years next to a radial arm saw! The owner swears it worked perfectly
when
his late father used it last 8 years ago.
Other than a good cleaning, is there anything I should watch for, (or
watch
out for?)
In that time: Are the HV caps probably dried out or bad now?
Are switches likely to be gummy or arc-prone?
Are the 2 3-500Z's likely to still be good?
Leakage?
Gassy? If so, can they still be saved?
Anything else? Other suggestions? All help will be appreciated.
73,
