Went and picked them up today.
I know the seller, he's another collector and I've dealt with him quite a few times, we always wind up talking for two hours and today was no exception. :yes:
Anyhow here are the pictures, he also threw in a couple freebies, a Motorola suitcase that's pretty much just a chassis and mask, cabinet is rough, and an Admiral Bakelite Console.
The Admiral is pretty weather beaten but I didn't see any cracks, no CRT, knobs or back so I don't intend to restore it back to stock, I might paint it a wild color and stick a small color chassis inside though.
It came with a power supply that might be handy if someone is missing one.
The Pedestal Predicta is in very decent condition, don't think a refinish will be needed or desirable, a little touch up on the feet mostly.
The screen cover is cracked but I can take the one off my Holiday for it.
The Holiday is really in very nice condition, good screen, nice cabinet except the one chunk in the top left corner visible in the picture.
It HAS the antenna!!
I haven't checked the CRT's in either one, I'm almost afraid to given what we know about these tubes.
