The situation in GB and US in 1939 may have been similar and the prices of televisions as well. However, the difference was not in TV sets, but in TV globally. There have been regular television broadcasts in GB since 1936. Society was familiar with this technology. At that time, in the US, television was operating on an experimental level. Regular broadcasting of programs did not begin until 1939. Americans needed time to understand the value of television. The TRK12 was the most expensive model and therefore did not sell well. At that time, there were other RCA models on the market, even under $ 200, which improved the sales statistics. DuMont also entered the market with its offer. I wonder how many TV sets there were in GB in 1939 and how quickly they were replaced by newer models after the war. Since we are moving in the pre-war period, I still have a question how many Marconi 705 models were produced and how many could have survived to this day.
