    powering up old unused electrinics equipment

    I remember in electronics school in the 1980s we learned that the best way to damage a very old piece of electronic equipment was to power it on with full voltage. After a long time with no power caps go to zero ufd, which will pass the full voltage and burn out other components. Something...
