An alternate way to power up slowly is a dim bulb tester. It provides power at a lower voltage for that first power on and gives you an indication of high current draw due to shorts. After you see that things seem to be OK, you take the dim bulb tester out of the circuit (or you fix problems and try again). See Phil Nelson's page: http://www.antiqueradio.org/dimbulb.htm
Cheers,
Bob
