  • The Philco Predicta is a black and white television chassis style, which was made in several cabinet models with 17” or 21” screens by the American company Philco from 1958 to 1960. The Predicta was marketed as the world’s first swivel screen television, and had an iconic design by Catherine Winkler with the picture tube (CRT) separated from the rest of the cabinet.
    The picture tube was surrounded in the new product by Eastman Plastics called “tenite” which protected the glass and gave it its greenish tint. The Predicta also had a thinner picture tube than many other televisions at the time, which led it to be marketed as the more futuristic television set.

      Must have seemed like magic when the TV first came out.

    Wild that we used to watch electron beams excite phosphors for television. Very sciencey

    Philco was founded by the man who invented the electronic television, Philo Farnsworth. A boy genius from Idaho changed the world forever.

    That TV is a work of art, and in a strange way, _still_ feels "futuristic."

    Somebody worked *really hard* to get that Predicta looking and running like brand new! I wonder if the CRT in that set has a 2.63V heater?

      The picture tube was replaced in December 1967, now a Superior Electronics Inc 21FDP4, 6.3 volts heater. The Philco Predicta Princess, model 3412 in my other video still has the original tube with 2.63 Volts heater.

      There is some repair videos on here. Here is a cool design a pedestal model. Considering how huge some TVs were at the time it must have seemed so futuristic to have one in your home. No it is almost like we have Fahrenheit 451 "Parlor walls" with our large flat screen TVs. He does manage to get the TV working if you watch all the videos he did on it.

      Well with a announcement of a live action fallout movie in the works, I bet people who are already owners, will be motivated to restore them. Although would you sell (not being serious btw) it if a studio called you looking for a TV for the set
