I just rebuilt one very similar to that, the Anode doesn't have a cup.

The PC boards used in these are really a pain to work on, mine had a coating of something over them, probably to help protect them from corrosion.

Every time I unsoldered a part the Foil wanted to come loose too, it was a real pain to recap.

Like the Predicta you have to unbolt the PC boards and remove some wires to gain access.

I replaced the CRT in mine because it was tired, I had to re-dag the replacement tube also, I used Aerodag because I happened to have some, Slip Plate works fine too, in fact I think it looks a little better and is more durable.

Keep the Dag away from the Anode and also away from where the Yoke windings contact the tube.
