Predicta Holiday restoration

[bandersen]

A friend picked up this set last fall and I'm going to take a whack at restoring it. It's a 1958 Philco Predicta Holiday with 9L37 chassis. The cabinet has seen better days plus the channel knob and antenna are missing, but otherwise it looks OK.
Hopefully, the gunk on the screen will buff out.





A few months ago I found a channel knob on ebay
The CRT has been replaced with a 6 volt version and it tests good. Not great, but good.


As for the chassis, the fuse resistor had exploded and the thermistor vaporized!
I think all of the components are original.
