Plots for terms of polynomials. Slider initial values?

I hope to get this working for a variable number of terms. Probably
this would work fine in a Manipulate block; I just took it from some
demo of how to rearrange sliders.
Is there any way to set initial values when you create sliders with
Slider[ ] rather than via Manipulate[ ]?
Any suggestions for better ways to do this are welcome.
