Linn LP12 ghost or power issue?


Hi all, 

my first post here as I just signed up :-)

I would appreciate any hint for what seems to be an issue.
A few weeks ago I found my old Linn LP12 turned on and although terrified for who knows how long it has been running, I put my mind at ease with the explanation I had forgotten to turn it off.
But today after a power cut at my house, I noticed that once the power came back it turned on by itself.
I tried to reproduce the issue manually myself but no luck
Any idea what can trigger that? seems like the duration of the power cut can make a difference.
And what should I do? use the switch on the socket behind the turntable? 
thanks in advance!

If it’s a Valhalla unit, it might be a good idea to add the switch or plug it out. My board smoked before failure.
