Hey BobRob; 

Yea, version 1.0 is done... as I posted here, I think, this version is good.. 
but I need help with the Python to make it better.

This version you have to press the button, get a video. Press again, another 
random video. Thats it...

I want to first add in that random videos begin playing on first run, and goto 
another IF theres a button press. 
I'd like to add in playing a commercial every 3rd video, to make it seem more 
like regular television. 
I'd like to display a Philco logo during the boot process, instead of the 
linuxy system stuff... I have a high quality SVG.
I'd like to add in a 'screensaver' if no button presses after 5 videos or so; 
switches to using 'fbi' to display images - as a screensaver.

Anyway, I installed the pi zero and button inside the TV; and it works great. 
Its a capacitive touch button, so I didn't have to modify the Predicta at all.. 































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































it 'presses' thru a thin wood section of the TV box. 
I suppose I could throw a video up... my daughter is visiting but I'll get 
around to it and post links here.

Thanks, glad you read about my little Philco Predicta Project. :P
