The vintage black and white looking televisions are back in fashion but with a retro look. Although, the concept is not new, Philco’s line of Predicta televisions are in the market in flamboyant colors and with contemporary technology.
In the 1950’s Philco came up with the concept of Predicta televisions and introduced the tabletop Princess model in 1959. Telstar has eventually purchased the rights of remaking the original Predicta designs by modernizing them. The televisions use color picture tubes and can efficiently connect to devices such as cable boxes, DVD players and video game consoles.
The Princess model displayed here is available in flashy colors and makes use of virgin plastics and brass, in addition to the accessories of course. The cute looking television can be placed in your workplace or your daughter’s room to give it a colorful look. The best part about these sets is that they are petite bodied and so can be easily placed in tiny corners.
All those who desire to create a retro looking living room, would surely long for one such set. If you are eager to know the price of the Princess model, it is available in 18-inch version for $1399(offered in 24-inches too). If you are hell bent on getting this thing, do order in advance with the deposit money, as the company needs 2 months as “build cycle’.
In today’s high-tech world, when the market is flooded with the flat screened HDTV’s and the likes, where does this classic looking Predicta stand, is anybody’s guess!
