Got this Predicta TV ... now what ...
Got this Philco Predicta (Holiday I think TV.
Missing the inner knob on the front - it is Tone Conrol?
What does it look like so I know what to find?
On the side I'm missing what might be its antenna I guess.
Any source for the antenna?
It same with some brochures and documents on Predictas.
Cleaned up all the white fungus like stuff with Window Cleaner
and Novus 2. It has two big vertical scratches on the front screen.
Looks remarkably better after cleaning up.
Cabinet is in really nice condition.
A stand came with it - is it one used with this Predicta in its hey day?
Measured the diagonal of the Screen and its 21" to the inner mask
and 23" edge to edge.
Took the back cover off the CRT but could not see anything that
identifies what the CRT is.
The plastic back on the CRT is mint.
Not sure if this one is one I'm going to Trade, use as a static display
or attempt a full restoration. I've never even touched a Predicta before
this one but have restored some earlier tube TVs. I do recall from reading
posts in the past that there are a number of tips and helpful hints that
one should be aware of before proceeding with a restoration.
I love photos of other folks projects so here are some of this Predicta:
