Predicta Holiday restoration

[Kevin Kuehn]

Those rusty primer modules turned out great

I took ownership of a pedestal Predicta last weekend, with I believe the same chassis as the set you're working on. Never thought I'd own one of these weird looking TV's, but apparently nobody else around here likes blonde things.

That switch looks like a perfect fit. Where did you get it?

There's even a current production of that switch available, but it looks like the mounting tabs have been changed. May still work if you swap out the complete pot cover? But you need to buy the complete pot to get the switch.

Thanks. Nice score and, yes, I believe it is the same chassis. Phil restored one of those a while back.

I found a closeup on another site. They do look promising.



With the power resistors out of the way, I found a good spot to mount the filament cap and wired it in along with the 120 VAC LED pilot light.

I better stick a note inside the set to explain my changes or some poor future tech will be mighty confused

That wraps up the electrical restoration so I'll move on to cosmetic issues.

I have a few of those newer ones for guitar amp work, so I opened one up. Actuator look the same? They're stamped CTS Made in ROC.
