At least in the USA, there was almost no consumer electronics made during the WW2 years. So TV sets were not avaliable, much less radio sets, or repair parts for radios. My father once mentioned being able to obtain a few tubes normally earmarked for the USO for a record player he made for my mom before she stepped into the beartrap of love.
