Common knowledge has always been that Philco's first line of production TV's was in 1948. I've seen a slew of photographs of earlier Philco prototype sets, but they were just that. I can only guess that these winners received limited pre-production sets. Maybe it was a promotion by Philco to give these sets away and get feedback to decide when to go into production. Sales of TV's were very poor in the pre-war days and there was a lot of problems both with the sets and the availability of programming. Most companies like Philco opted to wait until things got worked out, which was about 1948.
