A very historically significant, rare, and valuable set too. Easily $10K plus. The only commercially sold pre-war 5" tabletop set with an audio section that I'm aware of. The one pictured is very nice, but needs that sharp-looking "Andrea-Radio Television" decal above the screen to really be complete.

If I'm not mistaken that particular one has a cabinet that is a replica, which would explain the missing decal.

If it is, it's amazing work. Perfect actually. I am surprised though that a complete set of decals was not reproduced for it after going that far.

I believe that particular Andrea set was part of Dave Johnson's collection of over 200 sets including 20+ prewar sets. It was sold a few years back at an ETF auction.
