I am restoring a Captain Fantastic. Waiting for the front to dry before painting the rest.

Got the whole cabinet painted except for the neck. I goofed on the red pillar on the backbox, some masking paper lightly landed on the paint and that is all it took to completely ruin it. Will fix it later. Spray painting is extremely unforgiving.

I am working on a Capt Fantastic and the person I got it from said it worked before being stored. Are there any cliff notes on what steps to takes to get it functioning again? I can research how to adjust the parts, but just wondering what to look for first to narrow down the issue.

The GI bulbs light up when turned on, and the knocker coil was constantly running due to a stuck switch which I quickly fixed, so at least I know there is power properly flowing through the machine. But I hear no other noises happening and no other moving parts occuring when the machine is turned on.
