Has anyone seen this guys predicta work?
Well, Im back!
I have this Predicta Holiday in my room that I bought a while ago and I am absolutely terrified to work on! My mom has been nagging me to do something with it and she thinks it would be cool to watch The Twilight Zone and some old B&W TV shows on so I have permission to spent money! I found this guy online that claims to do complete Philco Predicta restorations. Has anyone ever seen his work and does he do good work? Its supposedly $275 you send in the chassis, he restores it and sends it back all new and shiny and it even says he has a 1 year warranty with his restorations! The reason I want to contract this out is because the Predicta is already notoriously hard to work on and someone has been under the chassis before me doing some messing around doing god knows what... I also just don't want to deal with the wire wraps, networks and the plethora of things that make these sets an absolute pain to work on... http://www.wadictatv.com/

There is also the guy at 50spredicta who I know does fine work and has a good reputation but he charges $385 for a restoration of the chassis!

Joseph Daniel,
I'm not far away-Mesquite (Dallas) and can help you. I was in Austin last week picking up 40+ CRTs and saw your exit off I-35. I've done scores of Predicta restorations and have all the parts. Members-the CRTs are mostly color but no roundies. I will list them and many more already in inventory in a few weeks. Call me (214) 914-5424 Larry Whitlock |

are you willing to send parts to Australia? I'm needing a few small cosmetic items for a Debutante and a Princess. Cheers, Adam
