Well, this just proves that there are no original ideas. Just as I was prepping the video for my TV, Skimbal publishes this terrific working Predicta model http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:873930.

Here's my take on the miniature TV. It's not modeled after any particular unit, just a generic late 50's television. It uses a Creative Zen media player so it is completely self-contained; no Raspberry Pi needed.

I have an updated version here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1615431.
