I think around Chicago you might find more Zenith, Admiral, Magnavox and Motorola because that was their home base. Same as finding Packard Bell and Hoffman on the west coast and Sylvania, Westinghouse, Emerson, DuMont and Philco in the northeast. But RCA (along with GE) had huge national distribution.
Personally, it doesn't bother me that the collecting community finds certain sets more desirable than others. I'm in this for my own personal enjoyment. I have many radios, turntables, televisions and a couple of old cars with more money sunk into them than I'll ever recover in a sale.
