Hi Steve, very cool. Dunham would have been the last guy I would have expected to be a Predicta collector. I never realized there were that many models of the Predicta. My brother who is a car guy, somehow found this video and sent it to me a few days ago. It would be interesting to know the history behind how he came across this set and how it came to be still in the box and never opened!

I believe I saw a video on Youtube about this. I wont spoil anything, but how in the world was there a NOS Predicta found after all those years! Wow! I'd be almost afraid to molest it, let alone even own it! Sooo cool!
