If not run in some time, should be powered up with variac. Caps could be dried out, may need reforming. If diy, capacitor kits sold at various vendors.

A friend was given 2 older open reel decks and thought I’d ask what to do before powering them up and testing?
The only open reel tapes I have to test with are masters (I want to transfer to digital, but I imagine it wouldn’t be a good idea to try them on the deck before we know it’s working properly.
Any suggestions where to get them refurbished in the NYC area?
any idea what they are worth once refurbished? I’m trying to convince him it might be worthwhile to invest some money.
