HI everyone Im new to the forum. I just picked up a Philco Predicta Tandem last night. The story behind the Tv is the person who sold the TV to the woman I bought it from said the TV worked. She brought it to their house and plugged it in but the set wouldnt come on, she swore up and down that it worked, but they never could get it to work. When I got there last night she thought she would turn it on when I pulled in so it would be warm and I could see what it does..... SO hopefully she didnt totally cook it. When I got it home last night  and hooked up my B & K 465 and proceeded to test my Picture tube. At first the tube tested as gassy, but after letting it warm up a about 5 min the tube passes with flying colors!! I took the chassis out and turned it on with the tube hooked up and I got no picture or sound but all the tubes did glow. I proceeded to check the fusistor and the filament dropping resistors for an open. My meter says the second terminal of the filament dropping resistor is open, and I got no continuity through the fusistor. From everything Ive read this set was built with the cheapest electronics they could find. So Im assuming I will have to replace all the caps and resistors at the very least. But Id really like to try and get the set to fire up for 2 reasons one is just to see it work, and the other is to shut my Mother and Fiance up who keep saying its junk and it will never work I should just throw it out.... So Id really like to get it to come on. What are, good replacements for the fusistor and the filament dropping resistor? SO far the only cap I see that has leaked a little is C1 on the Sams 441 photofact sheet I found.
