Predictas are not as bad as they sound IF they have not been too badly hacked before you get it. Spray some loosen juice around the sockets before trying to pull the tubes. The sockets are VERY fragile and if you break one you will HAVE to pull the PCB. If the sockets are not too bad you can recap it with out pulling the board. I actually like working on that model predicta as its very modular and easy to fit the chassis on the bench. The PCB's are very fragile and not thru plated so you have to be careful about getting parts off the board.
