I thank you guys for your input. The Predicta is fine. The trip was very nice, I stayed for ten days in Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina. For people like us, who are into all sorts of vintage and antique stuff, it is a very nice place to visit, you see lots of buildings from the early 20th century in all the streets and avenues of the city. There's also a nice antiques fair that is held every Sunday, I bought a few things there ( no TVs or radios, as those would be troublesome to bring home by airplane ). We rented a house that was built in 1920, an incredible place that is still very original, with lots of art-nouveau details in its decoration. The only TV in the house was a 1960's or 70's portable that still works. Here are some pictures of the house and the TV:

I knew a dude from there back in the '80s, who called the place 'Malos Aires'. Looks like the air quality is better these days.

In the 1980's they ( the argentinians ) drove a lot of old and obsolete cars, like Ford Falcons and Citroens 2CV, they even dared to travel in great numbers to Southern Brazil ( where I live ) with those cars in the summer. No wonder air quality was bad there. Today the situation is different there, I saw very few Ford Falcons, the majority of cars on their streets are modern cars.
