Complete Mac 128k recap completed, question before power on

So I have completely recapped both the analog and CPU board including the safety "X" capacitor.   

Next step is power on.   Any tricks to adjusting the voltage?  Should I turn it all the way down or put it in the middle, then power on and adjust or will the crowbar prevent any damage if the voltage is too high so just start with where ever the pot is at now?

Thanks,

Corey

Nevermind.  I just took a stab at it with everything left the way it was as a starting point.  After adjustment,  I'm at 5.00 V and 12.35v now and it seems good.

Will post pictures of the system soon.  I think it came out great....
