Restoring a Predicta Tandem
#17

You will find that if you want these old sets to work properly you will have to replace all of the capacitors and in my experience at least half of the resistors if not all of them. Then you will most likely have to rebuild the couplates as well. If you watched Bob's videos he goes through all of this and he has had very good results. Once fixed up these are great work TV's and I watch mine all the time.

I have also noticed a couple slight differences between sets I have worked on and the Sams info, I always go with what's found in the set.
