This 17"Philco Predicta Model was from the 2nd generation of Predictas in 1959. Known as the Princess model this RED set is hard to find, especially restored! This set looks and plays extremely well and is in great condition. It's important to note that the set is shown playing on it's own built-in antenna. Original factory antennas like this are both rare and expensive! This beautiful set has been electrically and cosmetically restored. The picture tube is better and brighter than the original. It has been replaced with a superbrite model. The paper capacitors and out-of-tolerance resistors have been replaced with new (that are better than the original). Most of the tubes are new. Other preventative measures, such as recoating the high voltage transformer with several coats of insulating materials-have been done. The chassis has been steam-cleaned and t is no dust. The set is shown playing on network TV -on the built-in-antenna!. We supply a cable adaptor for watching new shows on either cable or playing the set on a DVD or VCR. Reception-wise, this Predicta will pull in the weak stations from a local antenna. Further, you'll be impressed with the clear, loud, sound that the set's large 4" X 6" speaker will deliver! More on the cosmetics: The pictures tell the story. The cabinet's paint is mostly original, only a couple of minor scratches and they were touched up. Professional brass plating was done on the picture tube's swivel base and the ornamental brass "arms" The picture tube's lens cover is clear. Even the trim plate at the base of the picture tube has been freshly replated, as well as the end-caps located on the support arms. Even the 5 screws at the rear of the picture tube base are new and brass plated!.The knobs are excellent, complete, and original. Given the overall condition of this set, you'll enjoy both displaying (and using) this set for years to come! Many of you have bid on our previous sets; again, this one's RARE and in excellent condition. For more than a year, we have been the number one seller of restored Predictas on eBay.
