Predicta Tandem / Penthouse scored
#1

I was quite surprised to find one of these in a vintage shop on the northside. It's not working and they were promoting more as a prop or decoration. They had received a few inquires and offers already, but if I could lay down some cash it would be mine. So I ran over to a nearby bank (paid the $3 fee Icon_mad) and it was mine Icon_mrgreen

Now I am taking a gamble that the CRT is good, but I could liberate one from a Holiday if I really had to.
The base is very light. Almost makes me wonder if there's anything really in there!

It's also missing one knob and, as usual, the antenna.

Now for the worst part. Someone cut and tossed the umbilical cord Icon_evil Icon_e_sad

I suppose I can roll my own unless by some miracle there's a spare cable floating around out there.
