Actually, $3800 is a pretty low price for a prewar TV. Andreas have been selling for $6-10,000. This one was pretty ratty, though. Andreas aren't any more sought after than others, in fact the RCA TT-5 is probably the most desired table model set.
Most prewar picture tubes are impossible to find. Fortunately, the 5BP4 (used in most 5 inch sets) and the 5AP4 (used in the Andrea) are still available at reasonable prices.
1939 sets were designed to work with a 441 line picture. However, they work fine on 525 lines. Sound was AM, but they will work on FM using slope detection.
