I'm just going to chime in here with a suggestion. Now that you have verified there is life in that set, don't get carried away and try to replace everything at once. I know the Predictas are a little tricky to work on, but I would do one thing at a time - check the set, then go on. If you replace everything at once, and it doesn't work - where do you start? This way, if you do a section, and you have marked improvement, go on, or if you end up with a different problem or its worse, you have an idea where to start looking. I suggest start with the power supply and then move to the vertical section. 2 most troublesome sections. Just my 2 cents. I have one I want to restore too, but too many projects on the bench right now, and a few weeks away from starting my work season.
