unarguably one of the design icons of the 20th Century. Collectors cherish the Predicta for its “space age” look, but restorers grumble about its hard-to-service innards.<\/p>\n<p>Philco produced the Predicta from 1958-1960. Several models were available, in console or tabletop cabinets and with 21-inch or 17-inch screens.<\/p>\n<p>This console style was called the Pedestal and it was sold in 1958. The top is painted yellow and the rest of the cabinet has a mahogany finish. The first photo shows the TV playing at the time of purchase. My set has a VHF tuner for channels 2-13; some Predictas had a UHF tuner, as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more about Predictas at:\u00a0<a
