I've always heard that Bob, but I've never seen any ads or articles for Predicta's past 1959. I'd have to see one to believe it. It's common knowledge that the Predicta got a bad rap in '58, then tried to improve the set in '59, but the damage was done. It would be hard to understand how Philco would've kept the line going for 2 more years (it's often mentioned the end was '61). Like with this Debutante, they had to sell them off to motel chains to get rid of them in '59!
