If you do decide to power on the E-202, please be aware that the Large Capacitors may have lost their ability to work properly over the years and can be damaged if full voltage is applied.
Ideally, you can slowly increase the voltage with a variac over a day or two to allow the caps to reform and avoiding permanent damage. It would also be wise to inspect the insides for leaks from smaller caps, which could corrode tracks on boards.
