I was at an antique mall in Columbus and a 17" Predicta followed me out of the store for less than 70 clams. It is a transformer set, complete with totally dead CRT and many hack repairs. It was hidden enough to where I almost missed it. When I saw the price, I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

On a recent trip to Cleveland, I got a 17" console, possibly from the early 50's. Since I didn't bring the CRT tester and variac, it's untested.

These two, and three of another make (the "Z" word) bring my total count to 44 sets. I also found a tricolor CRT for one of my other sets that had a gassy CRT. With any luck, a Philco color set will follow me home.
