   Old novae are those cataclysmic variables which were seen to have a
   classical nova outburst, and have some of the most securely
   determined distance estimates. Some of the brightest novae are known
   to contain magnetic white dwarfs; we will test claims of magnetic
   nature in our targets, V603 Aql and CP Pup, although we believe they
   are non-magnetic. If non-magnetic, they are the best systems, among
   old novae and nova-likes, to perform ASCA spectroscopy on, because
   they are X-ray bright and have securely known distances. We will
   compare the spectra with those of other non magnetic CVs observed
   with ASCA.
