Hi, you missed a great show at CC-AWA - there I picked up that GE 805. I thought seriously about the Barber Pole but with 3 hours to go the price is already $550. Also, I'm wanting a straight forward TV for my next project. I looked through Phils website on his restoration of his Barber Pole and it looks like a rather complicated TV. Like I said, I thought seriously about the Barber Pole but after dealing with the GE 805, I'd like to keep my sanity. I've got 4 restored TVs so far and the Predicta would be nice. Oh well, lets see what the ETV convention has to offer.

If I were in your shoes I would jump on that Predicta...If the the price doesn't go crazy, it's a nice looking barber pole and it's located nearby...How many barber poles have you seen in NC lately?
If you later decide that it's not worth the trouble to restore it should be easy to sell for good money.

Interesting thread you have on the GE 805, sounds like a very challenging set.
I had planed all winter to go to the CC-AWA to look for a new vintage TV project but I was not able to attend, a few days later a Fada 940 showed up on craigslist in High Point and I jumped on that real quick!
