Hello
Unless the amp has been in use, don't power it up without a varac. I'd get a nice multimeter and check the values for the capacitors and resistors. I'd replace the capacitors in the output section.

WARNING! If you are not experienced working with electronics do not touch anything in a tube amp as they can retain lethal voltages. More than one tweaker has been turned into a smoking raisin.

WARNING! DO NOT POWER UP A TUBE AMP WITHOUT SPEAKERS OR PREFERRABLY A RESISTIVE LOAD CONNECTED! IT WILL DESTROY THE TUBES.
