It must be a little older, than I thought!
All tubes is great with me! What does it use for output tubes?
I always had a high regard for W-G products.

Its probably early 1960s, probably one of the very first Stereo Multiplex units from around 1961-62, I actually have an old Sears Silvertone AM/FM/FM Stereo all tube Tabletop receiver from about 1962 that I got from someone on AudioKarma this website's sister site and that thing I think was made by whoever had the EIA code of 528 and it has a nice Single-Ended 6BQ5 amplifier in it which sounds really nice with my Bose Speakers I have hooked up to it. :-)
So this is probably from around 1960-1963 as most companies by 1963-64 became Solid State on their stereos including Zenith, Motorola, and Magnavox.

The radio, you're referring is Warwick built, the 528 is a Sears sourced supplier code and not EIA.
The Pencrest set is newer than early 60's, as it has a rectangular CRT. Probably a 1967 or newer issue.

Yeah, but like I said though by that time period everyone had made their stereo systems Solid State and the OP said his is all tube, which would make it no later than 1964 as the 1963-64 season was when most of your manufacturers started going solid state with their stereo equipment, Wells-Gardner more than likely was also one of those companies as it wouldn't of benefitted them to keep making all tube powered stereo equipment as late as the late 1960s when everyone else had transitioned to all solid state on their stereo equipment by 1964, including the Japanese companies like Pioneer, Kenwood-Trio, and Yamaha, just to name a few.

If it is monochrome, the 23inch tubes with squared off corners date back to about 1961.

I read the entire thread entries and I fail to see, that's the set is color or monochrome.

The TV is monochrome you can clearly see that in the pictures...

I find it hard to see, that's all.
I have a Penncrest wood cabinet AM-FM radio, made by Arvin.

The TV is not color.
