Well guys, after picking up the 1957 Golden D and 1960 Bristol sets I posted about a while back I finally found my bucket list Predicta after a long search. I drove from Western Mass to Terra Haute Indiana to pick up this unit, a 1959 Predicta Full Dress. A couple weeks later someone local contacted me and I picked up his 1960 Predicta Miss America. So... now I have four to restore along with another set soon and some radios. Work was slowed due to a flood in our basement, but once the repairs are completed I'll be back to the restos. Stay tuned
