Most of my computers have not been powered up since the mid 1990s when I got them. Some have worked fine like my apple //e models whereas all the power supplies have failed in my Mac II boxes. I have some even older stuff that I never powered on including a Heathkit HERO robot and a few OSI C1P computers.
What's the best way to power up old machines? I have heard use of a Variac to power up machines at a very low voltage which from what I understand helps get the electrolytic capacitors to revive (recondition) without problems.
Anyone have any guidance on this?
