My First Philco Predicta

[azguy1878]

Iv'e been thinking about buying one for a while, i finally came across one at a local antique store..and the best part it was only $100.00!! The reason why it was so cheap is becuase they could not get it to power up, well i figured for the price i'd buy it as a project. I took it home and played around with it a bit, it turns out that the power cord wasn't plugged in all the way becuase the back panel was warped! So i took the paned off and plugged the cord in all the way and guess what..i have a working predicta! Only two probelms so far, the built in antenna is missing (easy Fix)..and it has raster and sound but no picture, someone with the same problem posted a thread on this site, so i should be able to fix it! The set is really in exellent condition, just got done cleaning the brass and touching up a few things. In case your wondering its a Philco "Princess". will put some photos up soon!
