I have a number of pieces of test equipment (HP, Tek, Fluke...digital/
analog/RF) that have been sitting in storage for a decade.

Time to apply the power and see if they work.

What is the recommended procedure to bring test equipment that has
been stored for a long period?

Also is there a MIL document that relates to this subject?

Thanks for what info you can offer.

Borrow or buy a variac or poorman's version a lamp socket in series and
variety of traditional bulbs 10W to 150W. Flickering bulb, like wavering
variac ammeter, often indicates cap problem. remove cover and sniff while
powering up.
