Predicta TV Set by Philco
| Description: |
Predicting the future! Philcos Predicta television, introduced in 1958, was outstanding in design because for the first time, a company treated television as the high-tech instrument it was rather than disguising it as a piece of furniture within a cabinet. The detached pivotal tube perches on top of the control box, making the screen image seem to float in space. What television shows could you have watched in 1958 on this Predicta? Premiering in 1958, The Donna Reed Show, The Rifleman & Concentration. |
