I'm not aware of any specific problems related to pre-war receiver design and operation. These sets performed fine for their times, and are on par with many early post-war sets.

This contest is certainly very interesting. As Dave A pointed out, why would they have a nationwide TV contest where only a few people could actually use the sets?.
