I saw the panasonic AG 500R in the corner, super jealous 😭😭 Out of curiosity how much did you pay for it? Ive seen them on ebay but never for less than 500, ive been considering biting the bullet lol.
You’re gonna hate this but I paid $40 for it at an estate sale that I raced over to, to pick it up haha. I had known about the crazy eBay prices, but hang in there. They’ll pop up when you least expect it
@@televisionforever Ahhhh nice find!!! I have tried to check estate sales sites but god it is such a slog combing through listings 😭 I did get lucky recently on FBM, got a Panasonic CT66 color set from 1966!! It's super duper cool and there is very little info about it online, I plan to make some posts/maybe a video about it! It doesn't work completely, I would like to fix it but I am still a novice when it comes to fixing these older sets but we'll see!
I can't imaging using one of these in a commercial setting is a good idea. I mean, I have no issue with using old stuff, I do myself, no reason to not use it as it was intended; but Predicta CRTs are notoriously short lived, and any CRT has a finite life. It just seems like kind of a shame to run it all day in a barber shop until it drops.
What's a fair price to pay for a Philco Predicta (one of the table-top models) in a condition similar to this, with a decent picture quality? I'd love to have one, but have no idea how much one actually costs
Hi. How do you get modern media to play on this TV? I know nothing about restoring or using old TV's so I'm just curious since I didn't see any "inputs" to connect anything to it. Also, OTA broadcasts probably don't work with these anymore I assume? Thanks.
There are antenna connectors on the back where you can hookup a video signal. From the television, it goes to a 75-300ohm transformer > coax cable > RF modulator > video input (VCR, DVD Player, Cable Box) If you have a transmitter, you can broadcast a signal locally and pick it up with just an antenna connected to the television.
bro got the IRL Radiation King 💀
Nice collection of vintage electronics. Your cat agrees with the Predicta purchase. Neatly restored chassis.
What a beautiful Predicta!

Jack, your beard looks awesome and so do your great restorations! I know that they are not related and I hope that no one judges me in the comments.
It reminds me of those old, bubble-styled, see thru; Apple Macintosh CRT monitors that Apple put out in the late 90s.
Perhaps that’s where Apple got the inspiration.

Rush power windows brought me here.
Great TV set 😊😊

For a restored Predicta Holiday, in this cosmetic condition, expect to pay around $1,200-$2,500
I’m assuming you’re at your new place?Just been binge watching and caught up.
