I've been into vintage TV's for decades and will say that's false. Philco seemed to be very proud of the Predicta right from the start in it's advertising to the public. The short necked 21" CRT proved not to be reliable and, unfortunately, the set got a bad reputation. In '59 they tried to recover with a better 17" CRT, but the damage was done even though it was quite a good set. That's when they sold large numbers of these to hotel chains, possibly Holiday Inn. The 17" sets, not the 21's. They usually where cream colored with antenna delete and an instruction panel sticker on the top right of the cabinet.
