Philco Predicta Debutante Repair Help

[RadRacer203]

I'm in central MA near Worcester. That site is very good, mine has the exact same issue that that one had. I'm just not at all confident in my abilities and I'n fairly certain I'm going to screw something up if I start soldering on this. I'd like to learn but I need something less rare and expensive to practice on. This one I'd prefer to just have someone with experience with tv's go through so I can start using it as soon as I can

Get an AA5 table radio to practice on...they are a nice microcosm of the recap work you need to do and super common and about the easiest thing to start on.

Exactly. I was very glad I had done radios before I did the Predicta, if only for the added confidence!
