Tom C. has very good points about perfection. TV's were built aimed at
a price point. Some were slapped together almost to the point
of unservicability, low parts count & barely operating under the best
conditions. Others built with a very high quality without leaving things out.
Most fell in the middle.
So the idea is to return the TV to a decent pix & sound that is stable
& watchable. Some by nature will be better than others.
I never worked on a Predica, the boss did one once so I saw the guts.
It looker real unpleasant !! Remember Predictas are in demand due to
the styling NOT the electronics.
