Hey all! I just picked up an AC225 for 25 bucks. The previous owner said it has been sitting for about 8 years. I opened the case and am in the process of cleaning it out. The selector switch is amazingly hard to turn. To the point where I am confident it is going to break soon. Is there anything I should look for to make sure this machine will function? The protective coating on the transformer seems to be flaking off too.

Im hoping I can just clean everything up well and it will fire up.

Thanks to all
