Alan in most late 50's and upwards philips sets you only need to replace the boost filter and you are ready to go, they use the yellow mustard capacitors wich do not fail with age and moisture.
electrolitics are also reliable
just pull off the cap of the horizontal output tube and power it up with a lightbulb in series...watch if the filter capacitors dont get hot and watch the power consumption with an ampmeter. if all looks ok give it full power

the predicta has already showed me a raster after some temporary repairs

so i turned my attention to the cabinet
it does not look the same does it?
I repainted the grille, polished the trim, repainted the gold around the dial, retouched and polished the wood cabinet.
after the cabinet i will do the electronic restoration
