Restoring a Predicta Tandem
#25

Hey guys sorry I haven't posted in a few days but I've ordered all the capacitors except for I think 2 from just radios and I'm waiting for them to come. In the meantime I decided to take the cover off the tube and clean it up it was so foggy you can barely see anything. Unfortunately once I started to see that it was clean I found out it has a crack in it are these common enough that I might be able to actually find another one. In the meantime I've gotten it pretty clear just using car polishing compound it does have some heavy scratches in it though I'm going to see if I can wet sand them. Also how do I get rid of the cheese and vomit smell? It doesnt want to air out.
