I wasn't questioning that right at all. I was just wondering how common
this "won't fire up" philosophy was amongst collectors.

I would think it all depends on how rich you are and how valuable the item
is. If something was worth over $100K because it is rare and all original in working condition would you risk blowing up a chip
that cannot be replaced
(correct date code etc)?
Part fail even just sitting o nthe shelf. A non-powered-up computer will
not last for ecer (ant it may not me easy-to-repalce parts, like
electrolytic capacitors, that fail either).
And how do you know it's perfectly working if you never power it up?
