Mike, thanks much for the information. Very good to know to watch for the H tube plate and I'll ramp up real slow. First thing is to test the CRT. My buddy with the tester was on his way out of town and couldn't recall the model, so hopefully what he has will work. Once I have some test results I'll report here and see if rejuvenating is recommended.
If it passes I am torn between doing a total recap all at once or seeing if it works and replacing the caps one section at a time. I like the thought of doing it one section at a time, makes it easier to figure out if I screwed something up along the way. If I keep a sharp eye on the h tube plate, have an appropriate fuse inline and watch the current draw, how risky is it to try to light it up?
Also thanks for decoding the tube numbers. However, I'm guessing that not all 21" monochrome tubes will fit the plastic CRT cover. I haven't been able to find a list of Predicta subs. I could live with a tube that pokes out the back if need be.
Thanks!
Jonathan
