Adcom Gia 555ii amp and gfp 565 preamp


I recently purchased these in like new condition, the downside is that they have been in storage for about 14 years. Is there anything I should do before hooking them up and turning them on?                   Sorry, it is a gfa 555 ii amp

Do you know the environmental condition of the storage area?  If conditioned were 70 degrees +or - a bit. If so, I would do a few things first.  Open the cases and perform a visual inspection of each device.   If the capacitors are swollen and leaking material, this would be bad. Now, if you only find dust and age related debris, plugged that puppy in and rock.  

None of the above is based on a Electrical Engineering Degree, just years of "Get It Done" and are you kidding "it Worked".
