Win the Philco Pedestal Predicta TV Set Sweepstakes!
our winner!
Step Back in Time with a Fully Restored 1959 Philco Predicta “Pedestal” TV in Blonde (with UHF)
Famed from the game and TV show "Fallout," the Early Television Foundation is thrilled to give you the rare chance to win a turnkey Philco Predicta. Known as the bane of many a TV repairman due to its tricky internal wiring, the Predicta has won hearts and become a cult favorite, with few still operational today. Restoring these sets is no small feat, given their notorious complexity.
Our expert technicians have done all the hard work, ensuring this TV is not just fully functional but also a beauty to behold. The blonde finish, rarer and more sought after than the mahogany, tends not to age as well, making this a particularly precious find.
The Predicta is a true standout, a quirky gem from the mid-century that’s become the crown jewel in the collection of any vintage TV enthusiast.
Win this unique, "Fallout" style TV and support the best vintage TV museum around!
