Predicta TV Conversion

I hope that they went out of business, by either going bankrupt, or the owners being sent to prison. A Chinese made flat screen in a vintage set just looks stupid, Predictas, like most TVs, had a spherical face on the picture tube, so the first thing noticeable is this large gap between the face of the plastic safety lens and the LCD screen. Also the original electronics can be made quite serviceable and reliable, especially the second generation Predicta models, and if properly restored will last for years.
