I'd take this over a Predicta.

The opening bid is $24.99. I do not see it going much higher than $60 or so. If this were one of the early RCA color sets (CT-100, CTC-2, 3, 4, et al.) I could see the bidding for any of these older sets going as high as hundreds of dollars, but not this one. For one thing, this GE is black-and-white, not color, and GE was not really a high-end brand of television, even in its heyday.

The cabinet style may be unique but, IMHO, that does not necessarily mean the set will or should sell at auction for some sky-high price. The cabinet looks as if it is plastic or Bakelite, not real wood, which lowers its value as a collectible even more.
