I just acquired a new, unused DEC VT100 terminal. I have not plugged it in yet, because I am a little weary about firing up a piece of 20 year old hardware that has never been turned on before. Something tells me that there are probably some dried up capacitors lurking in there somewhere, just waiting to blow as soon as I flip the switch. Visual inspection really can't tell me anything here, there won't be any burn marks or blown caps in something that has spent it's entire life wrapped in plastic. What areas in particular should I check? Are there any parts that are prone to failure in these terminals? Thanks in advance!

I have one here, but it's in really terrible shape - very yellow with the name of a school written on it. It works, save for the "Return" key that normally takes two presses to register, but I would like to find something in a bit better shape and with all the keys present and accounted for.
