Hello,
I just purchased a 1959 Philco Predicta J3406. I've always wanted a Predicta tv and finally found one at an affordable price. I knew purchasing it would be a gamble and the owner was not sure of its working order.
I hooked it up to an old DVD player and to my surprise I was able to get a picture and audio out of half the screen. However, that is the problem, I can only get half of the screen to show a picture. It also got a little burnt smelling so I shut it down.
I was going to see if a local repair shop could look at, but I was wondering if the half screen issue was going to be an expensive or difficult fix. Any suggestions? Also any know a good repair shop in Richmond, Va?
Thank you for your time.
