Hi all..yesterday at an estate sale I was excited to find this. This is my first tube amplifier (I have one tuner I pair with a solid state amp). I want to make sure I bring this back to life safely, and being a novice at electrical..want to know what I can do specifically, to get it up and running? I have not plugged it in yet. It is missing four large tubes that are in the right rear corner. A friend has told me that they are called "7591 tubes". I am wondering should I plug it in and turn it on BEFORE these tubes are in, to see if it even powers up? Im sorry for my ignorance in advance..I am a rookie at solid state gear, so that should tell you where I stand on this one! The serial number, if I am reading correctly (not quite sure of last letter) is: 38319G.
