   I am bringing out of storage - not counting the actual computers - probably 5   
   large boxes of Commodore 128 and 64 hardware accessories, software, books.    
   Collected mostly from the Bay over the past 20 years.   
      
   For the 128 and 64 computers, should I power them up with low voltage on a   
   variac for a while before giving them the full 120v? The idea being to perhaps   
   give the old caps a better chance of surviving powerup after long storage?   
      
   Or would low voltage give the power supplies and internals problems?   
      
   I will have a dim bulb tester in series also in case their are any serious   
   problems with the units.   
      
   thanks,   
   LT
