I found this curbside plug has been cut off and two missing knobs (I have found these on) little nervous to plug it in.

Use a dim bulb or a variac to power it up if you are concerned
That, or do a good visual inspection (check all the fuses - look for the obvious) and cross your fingers
Plenty of tutorials on how to make a dim bulb here and on line
Basically you are inserting a 100 or 150 watt light bulb in series between the mains and the receiver to take the brunt of the current in rush and drop the voltage a bit
 
I used my dim bulb and powered it on relay kicked in there was no sound moved the knobs around and sound sweet sweet sound. Time to start the rebuild.
