Do amplifiers deteriorate if not used?


Do amplifier internal parts (capacitors etc) deteriorate over time if they aren't being used, for example if an amplifier is in storage? Thanks.

You can buy variacs... just about anywhere (that sells electronic items, that is). In its simplest form, it's a wall-wart with a multiposition switch on it indicating different output voltages per position... You just need the appropriate variac (i.e. TALK to a sales tech)
Make sure you don't reach HIGHER voltage than the caps indicate (70? 80? V).

HOWEVER, I strongly suggest you get a TECHNICIAN to do this.
