Bryan, I would have been surprised as all get out if you had found an Andrea distributor in your phone book today, in the Baltimore area or elsewhere, as Andrea Radio has been out of business for decades. The company, based in the New York City area (their sets were mainly sold in that region, not unlike Packard Bell on the West Coast), made radios in the 1930s and televisions in the '50s; not sure exactly when they closed for good, but it may have been the late fifties or 1960-'61.
