of course Id take some time to poke around inside,
blow out the dust,
etc., but I was cautioned against even powering it up without
enlisting -local help- since its been sitting for so long. Should I
take such warnings seriously?
In general, yes. In the case of a uV2? I don't think so, though I'm
sure there are better people to speak definitively about it. I've seen
it said that the uV2 is recent enough that there is little-to-no chance
that the electrolytics have failed sitting.
My experience bears this out - I've done a few uV2 turn-ons after long
years idle, with no failures - but the sample size is too small to lend
any statistical validity to that.
