I'd imagine a number of firms designed products that they could roll out as soon as consumer production could be resumed.

I found this thread to be very informative. I've always wondered how companies, especially RCA with their nearly flawless 630TS, had these sets out in the market within the first year of production resuming. I'm sure Sarnoff was adamant about having the best and most successful set/s out there after the war, which he accomplished.
