The trend for retro electronics seems to just keep on going.
Next up, a line of retro-looking televisions that mix modern electronics, while bringing back a nostalgic cool factor.
Harking back to the original 1950’s Philco version as its inspiration, the new Predicta series of Retro televisions is now available from Wisconsin-based company, Telstar Electronics.
With eight distinct styles offered, with names like the Pedestal, Danish Moden, Corona, Meteor and Princess, these TVs feature hand-crafted wood cabinets, brass accents and mounting arms.
If you have to custom color coordinate your 50’s home, choose from six 50’s inspired colors, or custom design your own.
In screen sizes of 18- or 24-inch color picture tubes, the impression may speak to a bygone electronic era, but their workings are totally hi-tech.
The Predictas operate as up-to-date as any modern day conventional television.
