  • I wanted to show an overview of my Philco Predicta Pedestal television. I really love this design. There's a reason these are so collectible now

    Your doing the stuff I wish I could. Still learning the AM radios before I work on the TVs. I have been using your TV repair vids to inspire me to move on to them. Great stuff, keep em coming!

      Thank you so much! Currently working on a Predicta Miss America video as I type this out. Glad you're learning some from my videos! I love making them

    Is there any chance you can run a filter over your videos to take out the insane high frequencies? I had to stop halfway through because it sounded like a dentist drill in my ears lol

    Do you still have the chassis from the junk set?

    How much are you asking for the little red Emerson TV? I'm in Minneapolis Minnesota 55413. Not sure where you are and how practical it would be to ship it here.

    • @televisionforever
      @televisionforever  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I can check shipping prices because I'm willing to part with it. I was going to ask $70. I currently haven't worked on it yet. What's your email? We can talk further there about it.

    Hey love your videos and great work!
    I have a fairly good understanding of electronics, but tube TVs I’m quite green with.
    Are there any books or anything you recommend on understanding the circuitry of a crt tube tv and symptoms etc
    Thanks

      Thanks so much! Antique Radio Forums online has an endless knowledge of television and radio repair. Entire forum on televisions with people who used to work in the industry who diagnose problems all the time. Also there are a lot of vintage repair books on televisions you can find on eBay. I haven’t found really any modern books on tube television repair

      Great thank you very much. I’ll check it out, I have lots of reading to do. I have a philco predicta I want to rebuild, but I want to fully understand it and get the theory of operation before blindly replacing caps and resistors. Very cool to see another young guy into this and with great skills

    I have the opportunity to buy this exact model (similar condition as well). What would be a fair price for it as is ?

    • @televisionforever
      @televisionforever  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I bought mine in 2020 for $450. I'd say that's a fair price for a cabinet in fair condition and electronically unrestored. I wouldn't pay more than how much I did again.
