Predicta Tandem / Penthouse scored
#8

During the holidays and deep freeze, I decided to take a whack at restoring this set.
After a bit of cleaning, I determined all but the two tubes in the tuner are original and it's never been serviced.

I removed the main sweep board and replaced all the caps, resistors and rebuilt the K networks.

Underneath all that dirt, the chassis is in remarkably good condition.

The same can't be said of the flyback so I unmounted and recoated it.
