My guess is '68 or '69. I think this two-tone CRT bezel and control panel with the 5 color emblem were used during the final years of Westinghouse production.

I just checked my copy of the 1967 Westinghouse Color TV brochure and this set is not pictured. And I doubt the filigree pattern on the speaker fabric and the Mediterranean style carved strip are pre-'67.

A rare piece of Westinghouse history that deserves to be saved.

I can scan & post the brochure if anyone is interested.

You can always stack more tabletop sets on it.

Well, I don't collect 70's SS sets, but I keep a few around to keep them from being destroyed by those who lack an appreciation of them.

I'd buy it just for the cool color emblem and funky speaker cloth!

Probably a 1968 or 1969 - JC Penney used Westinghouse chassis about that same time and it looks very much like a 1969 Penncrest I once had with bad cataracts on the CRT and an open CRT filament. The date code for the Power transformer would tell - it's below the part number in your picture and would be part of a seven-digit number, being the last four digits. I tried zooming in, but it fuzzes right up.
