Vintage Philco Predicta Debutante television (circa 1958–1959), one of the most iconic mid-century TV designs ever produced. This model features the signature swivel-mounted “floating” picture tube that gives the Predicta its unmistakable atomic-age look. The blonde wood cabinet, brass accents, and smoked screen make it as much a sculptural design piece as it is a television.
The set has been tested and powers on. Cosmetically it shows normal vintage wear, and the screen has a visible dent/indentation (shown in photos). Because the outer screen is a molded plastic cover, repairing or replacing it should be possible for someone restoring the set. Interior components appear present.
A fantastic statement piece for collectors or anyone who loves mid-century modern design. Whether restored or used as a display piece, the Predicta remains one of the most striking examples of 1950s industrial design.
