Paid 900 dollars for a working Predicta pedestal. Do you guys think he paid too much?

[mr_rye89]

Yes. Those things are bombs until a competent tech goes through them. If it's properly restored then it was a good buy.

The Danish modern console and the tandem models can fetch better than that. The other models not so much.

This beat up one sold for $750, which I think is high for the condition. (link below)

$950 for a restored one might be okay, if you want it to use, but it'll be hard to flip and make a profit.

He's a TV star so he can probably get more for it than the average person. (and of course driving the prices up for all of us)

I haven't followed Predicta values very closely lately, but I would say that's high retail on it. I assume it's been elec. restored and in good, complete condition. You're not going to pay a whole lot less for one. Elec. restorations on those are a $350+ value alone.

After seeing what he paid for a "common-as-dirt" 1941 Philco console radio. It was playing, but drifted off station slightly. He claims he paid $180 for it.
I have three of the same and I'll sell them for a little less.
Early 4o's Philco radios are boring, at best!

I remember that! I don't know if I'd call them boring. 40s philcos are usually cheap to buy and look good. They aint no zenith tho......
