Photo of a Philco Predicta

I remember that guy, Julian. He was at Radiofest years back and he mentioned he had a NOS Philco Predicta Tandem stereo phonograph. We agreed on a price, but he wouldn't take any money, so I figured it would amount to nothing. A few weeks later, a giant, beat up cardboard box shows up on my doorstep. Inside was the phono, in perfect shape. I immediately sent him the $50 plus shipping.

Hey Jeff,

That's right, I almost forgot about that and that was about 15(?) or more years ago. He also wanted $500 for the Predicta barber pole with the box but I didn't buy that one either and it worked good too. He had NOS antennas for the Predictas and some other misc stuff too. One of the Miss Americas was slightly water damaged as the roof on the storage area had partially collapsed but all was hidden all those years behind some junk and old TV's. He had forgotten about them and they just stayed there until Dave had cleaned them out. I wonder what a G4242 Predicta new in the box is worth?!!
