I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.
The origjnal is a Philco Predicta from around 1958 or so. The Philco brand existed for years and years, first as a maker of radios, then as a maker of televisions.
The retro-futurist Predicta line ran for just 2 years, 1958 to 1960.
My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).

I’m a married man in a great relationship. Our office is covered with My Little Pony merch and posters.

Holy cow. That TV! Actually awesome, seems uniquely aesthetically pleasing for the era it seems to originate from.
What can you tell us about that TV?

It definitely gained a hold though and has been featured in both the Sims and Fallout games:
In the 90’s, the brand was acquired by a tiny company called Telstar who hand-made reproductions using Phillips parts, that’s who made mine in 2001.
25", full color, with composite, component and S-Video inputs. It even supports 480p video!
Maybe it was her first time seeing moving pictures? 😏
“Honey, will you marry me?”
um, I dunno…

Too… hot…?
They’re like a hundred degrees, centigrade.
