I have a Predicta Princess that has been sitting since 1977. It's in unbelievable original condition. I'd like to get it working before recapping it. I think my previous trouble with my Tandem was changing everything at once, I'd like to try doing a little at a time so I know where to look when something goes south.  replaced the main filter caps hoping it would work, the Damper, horizontal output, and High Voltage rectifier tubes don't have heater voltage. It looks like one side goes to ground, but on the Sams they just put an X on the other leg. What does the X mean?
