Shipping is quoted as a separate item (see below for more information). Prices do not include custom colors or variations to design and cabinetry (see below for more information).

LEAD TIME
We generally run a backlog of orders. We are currently taking orders that would be started in November and ship most likely mid-January.

SHIPPING

Shipping generally varies between $100-$300. The norm is generally $200-$225. Cost of shipping depends on size of model chosen, destination, residential delivery, and other services requested. Our preferred shipper is BAX (Burlington Air Express). When your TV is ready, we will coordinate with you when we should ship the TV. You will need to be there to take receipt of the TV from the BAX driver.

WARRANTY
90 days cosmetic; 9 months parts & labor; 2 years picture tube.

DISCLAIMERS
From time to time it is necessary to make design changes, engineering changes, and other changes to the product. The changes are usually minor and necessary to keep the product up to date, current, viable, improving, etc. When possible, these slight modifications will be noted or brought to our client’s attention.The actual product you receive may have slight modifications and variations than the same units pictured on the website, in the brochure, or transmitted to you via e-mail through jpeg or other electronic format, etc., etc.

PAYMENTS

At the time an order is placed we require $200 down to hold your spot on the build list. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, personal check, or money order. This portion is not refundable if the order is canceled. When we start your cabinet, we contact you for the balance of the down payment which is $500 ($1,000 for the Corona and Meteor models). If an order is cancelled after the second down payment is received, we reserve the right to keep all or a prorated portion of this payment. As your set nears completion, I lock in a shipping rate and contact you w/ the same. The balance plus shipping is due before your TV ships. We accept all of the above payments at this time as well. If a personal check is sent, we will wait for it to clear before shipping.

TECHNICAL SPECS

All the models have a 24" screen with the exception of the Princess, Debutante, and Chalet models which is 18". The Princess can be ordered with a 24" screen for an additional $300. Similarly, all the units have a wood cabinet, whereas the Princess and Debutante have metal cabinets. The Debutante is a stripped down version of the Princess. The only difference is the elimination of the shadowbox area and channel selector on the Debutante model. All other components, etc., are the same. The electrical hardware is standard with today's modern televisions (cable ready, remote control, AV inputs, audio outputs, etc.). The control knobs on the front are not novelties; they are functional and end up being surprisingly useful.

We offer standard finishes and can do custom finishes as well.

Wood Cabinet Models-Standard Finishes:
Predicta Blonde

Metal Cabinet Models-Standard Finishes:

CUSTOM TUBE ENCLOSURE COLORS

Cost depends on 18” or 24” tube enclosure, and if both pieces (front and back) are the same or different colors (i.e, two color matches is more expensive than one). Generally, budget on $50-$100 a piece for the 18” tube enclosure and $100-$200 apiece for the 24” tube enclosure. Bird’s eye maple finish is an additional $100.

It is important to us that you come away with 2 impressions:

First off all, the detail. We were emphatic when we started this project that this TV would impress up close as well as at a distance. This TV wasn't designed for quick reaction, but for up-close appreciation. We feel we have done a superb job of producing the TV with the artistic discipline and philosophies of the 1950's Predicta designers. We consider having the naming rights to Predicta to be more of a responsibility than a sales advantage.

Secondly, the Predicta TV should not be viewed as a novelty item. It is a functional piece of equipment that should be used with the same daily regularity of any consumer electronic item you would buy. We didn't design this with the thought of this being a jukebox or phone booth that might be used at parties, but rather a functional piece of art with woodworking that would rival any fine furniture manufacturer. In short, the TV is not a novelty.
