Bringing up a 10 years dormant VAX 11/750

Ok, the rodent issue is dealt with. Everything has been
taken apart (and documented), cleaned thoroughly, and
put back together.

Now I'm completely lost. Plugging it in, the large orange
light on the PSU lights up. With the switch on the PSU
switched to "LOCAL" and the breaker turned on, the blower
kicks in. Thing is, I don't have a key for the front panel
power switch. However, James Lothian's 11/750 FAQ
says that the power supply being switched to "LOCAL"
should override the key setting and power up the machine,
but the power light on the front doesn't light up, nor does
anything else. On the PSU, there are no failure lights, but
"Power OK" doesn't light up either.

Any thoughts?
