I asked him about this last year. He told me he replaces the multi-section electrolytics with discrete caps. i.e. no restuffing. All paper caps and bad resistors are replaced.
Not sure if he removes the circuit boards or replaces them from the top.

wonder what the deal would be if bad tube sockets or bad fly?

He's not getting rich on a per-hour basis, but I'll bet the work goes pretty quickly once he's done a few dozen Predictas. When I pulled the board on mine for a second time, I did it much faster than the first time.

And who knows, an inexpensive Predicta offer might act as a "loss leader" to bring in additional work that's more interesting/lucrative.
