     Are there *six* models of Predictas? And why are these sets always
featured in Empty-V type of popular culture?  And, just how much are 
Predictas worth (I have access to one which is the "pedestal" model)
operating?

If I hadn't trashed my RCA CTC-3A (with the "drumhead" 15 inch CRT)....
(sigh)

P.S. I'd really like to know what the other four Predicta models are. I've
only seen the "pedestal" version and the "tabletop" version, both of which
are on the Rush album cover..
